branches. somewhere south of paris.

17 March 2007... staying at this little (not so little) cottage in branches was the perfect place to begin my journeys abroad. seeing ari again has been wonderful, her friends are kind and gentle. our week was blessed with sunny days on the grounds and warm evenings by the fire. lots of games, wine, bread and jam, treasure hunts, climbing trees, hot tubbing under the clearest of skies. it is quiet in this tiny farming town. branches has no post office, no general store. just happy folks working hard and enjoying simple life. it has been a joy to be a part of that.
