Today I packed up my things, ready to go to Hyeres this evening for my train ride tomorrow. In the afternoon, after lunch we went for a walk to a special place by a waterfall where we honored the memory and spirit of my longtime partner, Dan Carr, with poetry, stories and homemade plum wine. Dan liked hawks and earlier a hawk had flown toward the direction that we choose to go to for our celebration. My friend, Kim, saw special clouds in the sky that reminded us of him.
We left to visit the sea and stopped at a vineyard for wine. Then after dinner with Philippe’s mom, I stayed in Hyeres at the office space so I could leave early in the morning to catch the 7 a.m. train. I will be heading to Ghent, Brusselles, and then on to Holland.
