Looking back: June 13, 2019 A year ago today, we made CO Karen's dream of visiting a medieval castle come true! After some studio time and lunch, our group trekked from #Durfort, over the same bridge as the day before (no problems today!) to #citemedieval or #Carcassonne! Our discovery today was to always make better plans! Cellphones do not work within the thick walls of the castle. Our group split into two and when we tried to reconnect, none of us could reach the other. CO Karen, Tracey, Cori and I had fun exploring the ancient walls, taking photos and eating ice cream. Isle of Man Karen and sisters Diane and Julie had afternoon tea and explored the museum within the walls of Carcassonne. We were there for hours exploring the ancient walled city. When our group finally reconnected, we made a mad dash to a local French art store before it closed. It was difficult not to buy ALL of the paints but I walked out with a couple of tiny brushes. We returned to La Cascade much later than expected. Our hostess was not pleased that we arrived later than she had expected (we hadn't set a time for dinner and didn't think it would be a problem.) I found David reading Celine's Death on the Installment Plan and enjoying the quiet time in our room by the waterfall. After a quick dinner, we raced up to the studio. We spent the evening laughing and making art, acting like teenagers whose dorm mother had left the building. It was so much fun! #KilmerFrance2019 #KilmerEurope2019 #DearVincentproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZAHe2gtOd/?igshid=1ok6oly8vyskt
