Home! Happy Trails to you!

What a fabulous trip!  We just got home!  We left our hotel in Phoenix at 3:45 a.m. on Monday July 1st, 2019.  First, a 4 1/2-hour flight to Newark, a 4-hour stop-over there, then our 9-hour flight to Geneva where our bus was waiting for us.  We arrived in Grenoble at 10:30 Tuesday morning, June 2nd...which was 2:30 in the morning for us.  A very long day!

 


This blog will come back to life in the autumn so that those who went on the trip can share their photos and comments with you.

Enjoy the memories; enjoy your summer everyone!
And Happy 4th of July today!

My best...and a song: 
Jane

 Happy Trails to you!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgw_yprN_-w

Again here, with lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBFlQNcwtI

Happy Trails to you,
Until we meet again
Happy Trails to you
Keep smiling' until then.
Who cares about the clouds if we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy Trails to you 'til we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones
Others are blue
It's the way you ride that trail that counts
Here's a happy one for you.
Happy Trails to you
Until we meet again.....

Roy Rogers was a famous cowboy singer and actor every American knows.  His horse's name was Trigger.

Before I sign off, two last songs and the words of the famous Chief Seattle :

AMERICA  https://youtu.be/6YYzIWTE1L4                                                                   (sung by the cowboy singer Waylan Jennings)

This song, published in 1910 is one of the most popular of the many American patriotic songs, and often sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Returning to the blog

Hello everyone, Autumn is here.  This blog has finished its summer vacation... I blew out my birthday candles yesterday.... and the blog is ready to open again! The American Southwest, June 18th - July 2nd, 2019. We returned with so many photos, such good memories... Such a wonderful trip!  Now is the time to start sharing our experience/photos with everyone.  And it's time for the students themselves to be the makers of this blog.  Their photos, their comments. Participation will be from time to time, as I wait for them to send me their photos with short write-ups .   Let me get started with a few random group photos.  Here we are at The Great Sand Dunes in Colorado.  Dancing in Santa Fe!   Such fun !    This photo and the next one:  We are visiting Georgia O'Keeffe's house/workshop.   Such a beautiful house.  We also took the train!  Durango-Silverton.   See Day 22 (D-39)  of this blog.    And we were ALWAYS EATING!

I'm quite certain that no one is reading this at 3 o'clock in the morning, but that is our time to get going to the bus station in Grenoble as our coach for Geneva Airport leaves at 4 a.m. So here we are at the last day of this blog.  Before signing off, thank you all for having taken this first trip, the blog trip, with me.  You can return whenever you like and wherever in the blog that you like.  Just click on Archive at the left.  There you can choose the month, April, May or June, and the Day that you would like to look at.  On your smartphones, click the menu bar (   which is also called a hamburger button   ) and you will find Archive. 😀SOMETHING EXTRA: Our first state: Colorado!  --->  Here's a funny video about one Frenchman who went to Colorado and decided to stay there!    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhfipv8LXRg   😆 I look forward, after the “real” trip, to my travelers sharing their experience with everyone. It’s time now to say “Bon Voyage!”
