Jun 14: Driving home.

The journey home in Gary's BMW Z1, somewhere north of LeMans near Alencon. Roof down, doors down, (they slide down into the sills in the Z1) and we're listening to “Can't take my Eyes off you” on the CD. Everything, weather, roads and scenery, is perfect. A bit further north there's a 22km section of road between Nonant-le-pin and Argentan which is possibly the most beautiful road in the world. The road, wide and smooth, winds through farm and woodland. In Le-pin-au-Haras, I wanted to stop. Forever. Linda, bring the dogs, the chickens and the rabbits. We're going to live here!

Big thanks to Gary for driving, (and letting me ride in his Z1)

First off - cool shot!! How come it's a left hander?? (or he lives over there?) Are their roads not the best compared to ours. We went to France for hols a while ago and got used to their smooth roads. Got off the ferry at Portsmouth and onto the motorway (wtf??) I thought the car had gone wrong {lol} Hope you had a good trip - though I'm guessing you did??

What glorious fun David. The picture and the words really do make one want to move there. Sounds like you are having (had?) fun.
