It’s been a long time since the Barefoot Blogger packed her bags to leave Uzès for the holidays for Lyon, Istanbul, Nepal, and then to the States.
The extended stay is due to a complete health overhaul–greatly needed with “advancing age”– which disclosed my need for a dental implant. These things take months to complete! Soon, it will all be history, and I’ll return to my beloved new home in France.
Meanwhile, the “friends and family” tour through the Carolinas continues. Here are some of my favorite sights!
Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

These are familiar scenes for those who don’t know rural North Carolina. Land of tobacco barns, golden fields, and trailer homes.
