Travelers' Notebook - Traveling With Ed and Julie (2)

Europe

Great Britain
East Anglia
By Harlan Hague. Home to Gainsborough, Constable, ghosts, history and George Eliot's Middlemarch.

Wye Valley
By Harlan Hague. "'Eardisley has a sweet little parish church, and you should see it,' an English friend told me. I did and saw more than a sweet church; I found a national treasure."

Highclere to Bignor
By Harlan Hague. An uncrowded part of Britain, even in the summer, has among its pleasures a 1,500 year old Roman villa, treasures from Lord Carnavon's Egyptian excavations, and Jane Austen's house where she wrote Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion.

Driving Right (on the left!)
By Harlan Hague. A sinister (that means left-handed) tale of the adventures of driving the right way -- for a left-hander.

France
Breakfast In The Chateau ... Of Course
By Harlan Hague. Budget-gentle luxury travel? Quite doable, with planning. Without planning? Sometimes the rain falls golden on those who travel with an open mind, a strong heart, and few obligations. Breakfast in a French chateau, served by the Marquess, of course!

The Gîte de France
By Harlan Hague. Looking for a relaxed vacation and a chance to see the real character of a countryside and its people? A well-kept secret to most Americans until recently, the gite provides a unique opportunity at an affordable price to get an inside look at the French and French life outside the cities.

Oradour-Sur-Glane: Remember
By Harlan Hague. The reason for visiting Oradour is emblazoned on the doorway to the ruined village: "Souviens-toi: Remember." Harlan writes, "I will not soon forget Oradour."

Provence: Aigues-Mortes
By Harlan Hague. Founded in 1241 by Saint Louis, the visitor finds a virtually-intact thirteenth century fortified town. (Missourians note: the founder is Louis IX of France who is not responsible for the relocation of the NFL Cardinals -- who started out in Chicago in the first place.)
