I know they are useful, and I wear them whenever I'm in a store or other indoor location. I find it very uncomfortable to breathe when wearing one, and my glasses fog up. But it's only 15 minutes or so, and I can deal with that. But an 8 hour flight?!!Bob Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349830722788278723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-36821977771127448932020-07-02T07:50:52.137+02:002020-07-02T07:50:52.137+02:00I know what you mean about not being in the U.S. f...I know what you mean about not being in the U.S. from now until Nov. 4, but sadly, I think you have no choice. Even if the EU said you could come in, would you want to spent 12 hours in airports and on airplanes? I wouldn't.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-31447280551853632792020-07-02T07:49:13.886+02:002020-07-02T07:49:13.886+02:00I know I took tomatoes to the gîte we had in Le Pe...I know I took tomatoes to the gîte we had in Le Perche in 2011, but I don't remember about Le Cantal.

If only Europe would let us in but I don’t blame them for keeping crazy Americans out.

I wish Google Street View would show the whole village so I could see if there's a house that looks somewhat similar on the outside.Bob Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349830722788278723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-68495421992577239102020-07-01T15:55:15.771+02:002020-07-01T15:55:15.771+02:00Photos make the trip come back to my memory.

Your photos are better than the one on the gite site.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-17517676755922219292020-07-01T13:38:47.530+02:002020-07-01T13:38:47.530+02:00The Henri II style furniture in the dinning room w...The Henri II style furniture in the dinning room was in fashion in the late 1800s.<br /><br />This house seems very comfortable.<br /><br />Contrary to the previous one, this slide downloaded very fast!chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.com
