For 60 years, the label “Villes et Villages Fleuris” has been granted to municipalities throughout France to reward those committed to improving their quality of life based on their use of plants and flowers in public spaces, respect for the environment (management of natural resources and preservation of biodiversity), the development of the local economy, attractiveness to tourists, and the preservation of community.
Rogny is a village fleuri indeed! One day while I was walking, I saw the municipal workers making their rounds of watering and caring for all of the town’s flowers that adorn the bridges over the canal. I don’t think that’s a thing in the US. They take a lot of pride in it.
I’ve been checking into the possibility of shipping the dogs home when the weather cools. The cost I’ve been quoted from two different companies would be about $4,000. That sure seems like a lot of money! And I don’t want to do it because I want them with me in the cabin. It would be much cheaper to buy a ticket for a human to accompany me on the flight, but Catch-22, it has to be an American. And who would want to expose themselves needlessly to infection for the sake of Cassie or Cam?? But…
Then I discovered that United will allow a person to purchase a seat for their second pet. This may end up costing as much as the hold, but it would be more acceptable to me. If I choose this route, I would stay until my visa is expiring and then return to the US in September. The only problem is that I would have to fly out of Paris and possibly lose my free return from Barcelona on Delta. Lots of details to figure out… it gives me a headache. Still hoping for a blessing…
And lastly, today hit 101 degrees! All fine and good (not really) if you have air conditioning…
So, you make do…with a blow-up pool!

Cool in the pool!
How long is your credit with Delta good? Could it be part of a return trip to Spain in 2021 or later?

the airlines are offering a lot of options these days. so assume you’re checking. but if you can buy another seat and just do it that way, it sounds like a no brainer to me. and maybe delta will want to provide the same level of service as united so who knows. on another note, that place is just beautiful. and glad you found an option to stay cool. i used to take a cold shower and then sleep raw with a fan blowing over me in my poor grad school days in san antonio.
