La Roche Canillac, France


After 33 hours of travel; interrupted sleep on the plane, a taxi ride through Bastille weekend holiday traffic in Paris, a four hour ride on a train with stale warm air, and an exciting (and mildly horrifying) 45 minute drive through the hills France; I finally arrived at my destination. Nauseous, hungry, and tired, I was escorted into the Chateau for bread and soup. Feeling a little stronger, I went for a swim in the salt water pool. The water was cool and soft, incredibly rejuvenating. I felt better immediately.

What an incredible opportunity, I was able to stay in a house in the village that is nestled in the side of a hill. The village had a rich history and boasts spectacular views in almost every direction.

The pictures of the wedding speak for themselves: http://www.imagequix.com/photog.php?id=L93A19G&ec=bajer
As we travelled home, we had the opportunity to spend a day in Paris and see the sights. I could say so much more, but I will let the pictures do it for me.





The trip was a fabulous opportunity, the wedding was beautiful, the families were gracious hosts, and my traveling companions were entertaining and easy to be with.
Thank you, Paul and Kaytee, for allowing me to be a part of your wedding and giving me this amazing opportunity to see France!
