Marnay Sur-Seine in France

Last picture of the prairie sky 

Bonjour all! I have arrived in Marnay Sur-Seine at last! It is lovely here, absolutely picturesque. It is the perfect place for a painter. I am surrounded by other artists and like minded people, it is treat enough to have long conversations over a nice meal. 

This morning it was hot hot,  so a couple of us decided to bike to Nogent Sur-Seine along the Seine river. I was a wonderful day to be biking through french countryside, it felt like I was in a movie. There were tree covered paths, sunflower fields, corn, and then finally an onion field. The onion field was so fragrant that it felt like I had my head stuck in a bag of sour cream and onion potato chips (if there was a store near here that had some i would have totally indulged and now come to think of it I highly doubt there are sour cream and onion chips here). When we finally arrived in Nogent we sat down for a wonderful lunch, I had a poached salmon with hollandaise, salad, and a rice that was soaked in cream and butter and sprinkled with tarragon. To finish Nick and I shared a hot fudge sunday. It was nice to go for lunch,  where we are all living there is no restaurant or store.

Later in the afternoon I went for a lay down by the river where there where children playing on the beach and swimming.
