Travel Diary Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Centre of France
is the most quietest part
But the great treasure
of this region is the Loire valley,
with many great castles and beautiful towns.

& of course Chartres with its famous cathedral
we prayed
for ten minutes

& we went to
The Alps
great for skiing in winter
(though we simply
looked at the skiers
for i have not even
touched one)

Aunt Meggie remembers that Albertville,
Grenoble and
Chamonix have
all hosted the Olympic games.

we proceeded to the
other nice towns
Chambéry& Annecy.

i fell asleep
and missed the
view of
the countryside.
