Kris and I returned home from France on Sunday. The trip was awful, 12 hours in first class with free alcohol and a five course lunch, seats that were able to lay flat, bathrooms that a normal sized human can comfortably fit in. Blech. But really, our trip was amazing. We went to a new place almost every day (spending a day and a half in Paris) and got to experience France and Belgium like I never have before.
We stayed in Nomain, a small small town about an hour from Lille, in a Gite run by a lovely couple named Bernard and Therese. Our general daily plan was to wake up early, go to town X, return around 4 to the Gite, and have a nice dinner at home or at a local restaurant.
I wish I could just upload my travel journal with all of the details of the trip but it would lack ticket stubs, postcards, maps, and just about everything else that got stuck in my pocket for the week. Theres quick photo run down of the trip though after the jump!
