Bon soir mon ami
I got your message once we had passed the frontier of no return.  I would loved to have lively Ivy with us.  All Islay does in the car is sleep. Ivy and I could sing serenades together and control the other traffic.

My navigation techniques are getting better than the GPS and my backseat driving has landed us in the heart of Burgundy where we are having fun playing in the vineyards and wine tasting.  The wild boar are really scary.

We have a reaaly neat suite in Vosne Romanee, near Nuits st. Georges, with a huge glassed front terrace over the vineyard.  No challenge for Red the explorer: whilst the others were relaxing, I saw a gap between theglass and the wooden divider wall to next door so slipped through and said hello to the lady next door in her shower......I think she was thrilled to see me but Mama says she thought I was supposed to knock first.  I am trying next door the other way tonight when they go to sleep.  Smelled of beef bourguignon earlier.

We are heading for Nimes tomorrow just in the time for the wine harvesting festival and are elaving before the bullfights because we don't agree with all of that stuff.

Worry ye not my pal, we will never forget the way back, I happen to be on a mission to show you the way here too.

Au revoir, sante to you all,
Red the explorer.
