This trip to France had been planned for so long, it felt strange to finally leave! The day before, Felix wrote in his journal "I em guewing to Frantze". Indeed.

We saw many many many family members and covered many many many miles. We made it to Europe with surprisingly grace: Felix and Milo deserve a reward for "Best Behaved Children" for their flawless performance on the transatlantic flight (Lucie was alone). They were also most gracious with the tsunami of relatives. They even made the effort to speak French all the time. It couldn't have gone better.
