The Case of the Disappearing Dog

5:08 AM
As we're nearing our final days here at Moulin Bregeon, Winry has gotten pretty comfortable here. Too comfortable.  She won everyone over quickly with her cute little puppy eyes and exuberant personality and once she had she started using it to her advantage. We wouldn't see her for hours only to find out she'd been "helping" Nora in the kitchen (staring her down...

We don't always have a clear idea on what to expect when we arrive at a new hosts place and Moulin Bregeon was no different.

10:08 AM
Saturday was yet another day of traveling, but this time we were heading to Zach's friend Cassey's hotel instead of to a new host. We've had rainy days on every travel day so far, so maybe it was the difference in hosts that made the sun shine.  As is tradition, we went out for dinner and drinks the night before and had far...
