Some days like GOD in France. Four hours driving from our home but yet enough to pick up another atmosphere and new inspiration to go on drawing and living. Many tastes! Rapeseed-fields, little strong coffees, old wooden cities, fresh milk from the farmers who offered us some hectares for our small stitched house, chocolate easter-bunnies for breakfast, limon pie in the afternoon and the smell of fresh water with frogs croaking around. Only 4 days in a lifetime...but enough to give me energy for centuries!
She loves him and would do anything for him! This was my daydream...:)
I love seafood...their textures, forms, colors and also the incredible fresh taste.
Some 300 km from where I live...so very close is this little town of Le Tréport. Great feeling to have the possibility of being one day in Normandy and eating the best fish in the world! We took my parents with us for a birthday gift-day on the French coast and all four of us were so happy on the end of the day...just ...a perfect day! 
A friend did remind me on FB of our visit to this tomb of Cesar Vallejo on the cemetery of Montparnasse in Paris, almost 3 years ago! Me and my future husband travelled to Paris and promised our friend to leave some notes on the resting place of the Peruvian poet, a man who's mind and work mean a lot for him. I drewed this little portrait on my room in the hotel...and gave it a place on the tomb together with other little things that had a meaning. O gosh, three years already!!!
The last drawing about our little journey is inspired on the first night of that journey. We had a lovely room at home of a French lady not that far away from Liseux. Brittany or 'Breizh' in the their language, was still on the other side of the horizon. Today, one week after, we can only dream again of those days and all the little things that gaves us memories forever!
Down the walls of the city was sitting a poor old man. He didn't had interest in the views that tourists were making off thousand photos! He just came like everyday to a little place away from the busy streets to visit his friends , 4 white cats. He didn't say anything but the cats were like in a conversacion with him. I could watch it for hours...but the view of the sea was pulling me to draw ;). This is one of those little secret stories you can unwire in cities...wich I LOVE!
Very quick, last saturday-afternoon...on a little and quiet beach near St.Malo I made this little doodle. Not for the result but just for the feeling of sand gliding trough my fingers...while the wind blowed the ocean in my back :). This meaned finally some rest after a very busy time!
Almost on the end of our little journey we thought to have seen everything in that little region of Brittany! The art-festival in St.Malo, Le Mont St. Michel, the windy but sunny beaches, eating huge meringues and too many crêpes, and sleeping in lovely french 'jumpin' beds. Anyway, our guestwoman wanted to now our plans for saturday-evening and she convinced us to go and visit Dinan...some 50 km away from the coast where we would have our last night. What a treasure!!! Walking in little wooden streets with houses that are like living trees...talking to me. :)
Finally, the farest point we went after St.Malo...to see this spectacular island named Mont St.Michel. Above two drawings of this place with a difference of 12 years. Was like 18 when I visited this for the first time and now I went back to show my husband this little dream...if you don't mind the crowd that's walking every day to this like floating island in the sea. After 12 years I saw many differences...much more people still go visiting it and walking in the main street is like no longer an easy job. But I still love the roofs and materials the house were build off! The good news may'be is that they will reorganize the whole site! No more parked cars close to it...so walk with those legs please...like we did some 2 km to reach it. Anyway, we enjoyed the view, took millions of pics but we were happy to turn our back on time...and going to spots without too many lazy tourists.
Brittany and Normandy are two paradises into France where 'Cidre' is like gold! It looks like and it tastes wonderful!!! There is nothing better to drink if you are overthere. I was drinking it like every meal...and cannot get enough of it! 
Welcome back everyone!
I feel reloaded but also a little bit sad that I had to return homewards.
The blue ocean, the fresh wind, the little strong coffees, the more then delicious 'crêpes' and 'galettes' and of course the gallons of 'cidre' made us feeling sooo happy and 'full' :)This week I want to try to publish every day some flashback from this little journey to Bretagne and Normandy in France! Hope you can feel the wind blowing!
Enjoy! Back to work now;)

Bienvenido a todos!
Me siento al mismo tiempo recargada y triste que teniamos que regresar a la casa. El ocean azul, el viento tan fresco, las cafecitas chiquitas, los ricos 'crêpes' y 'galettes' y sobre todo los litros de 'cidre' nos han dado una felicidad tan grande y nos han dejado totalmente llenos! :) Esta semana quiero publicar los recuerdos de este viaje tan corto pero intensto en Francia. Espero que vas a sentir el viento soplando!
Disfrutalo! Otra vez trabajo ahora ;)
