The road home, climbing
Chloe and Vanessa went for a morning session at Shadocks while Simon and I herded kids and packed up. After tractoring the stuff to the skip
it was time for goodbyes to Hauterives, and more importantly: Lunch! We all drove to Sainte Enimie, where we had a nice meal at La Tendelle.
The only issue with this place is to not go there if you are in a hurry, as it is rather slow. In fact, we all had to take the kids for little walks outside to keep them happy. Happily, Saint Enimie is a beautiful town!
Next came the drive home. When we were living in the states, a four and a half hour drive was no big thing, but I have gotten soft and spoiled and it now seems kind of painful. It's a bit more demanding to drive on winding roads with lots of intersections, rather than I-5 through the central valley, but still. We arrived home, fed the kids and collapsed.
