oh my god i am exhausted

[jazzfish]

In France for the second of two weeks with Steph's family. Five adults who do not believe in downtime and have packed ten pounds of touristing into a five-pound sack trip, two preteens who are good kids but still kids, and Steph's ten-year-old who will eat about six things, has absolutely zero concept of time, and gets intensely anxious. And me.

It has been a good if intense trip, and I have certainly had more France Experiences than I would have on my own. I am also stealing a few minutes this morning to journal before we rush off to The Next Thing and feeling guilty about it because folks are eating breakfast and I am being asocial.

Three(?) days in Paris doing the Catacombs, the Louvre, the Champs-Elysee, Sainte-Chappelle (Notre-Dame tickets were unobtainable) and Shakespeare & Co, then Versailles and down to Nantes, then Lascaux and Cap Blanc, through the Gorges du Tarn, and yesterday was Aigues-Mortes and the Camargue. At least half of these are nouns I would have no other referent for so I am hopeful I will have time to write them up more later before they fall entirely out of my head.

Big Sympathy! We did the GoHereSeeThat trip already this year. Coming up is the Cabin trip, which will be go there and chill the fuck out for a week. I am really looking forward to it. Maybe we’ll put the hammock up this time.
