The Yankee Dollar - Oh là là

We took two trips this year. Here's what we got for about US$160 a night:

In central France










in the Blueridge Mountains










Both places were clean and newly furnished. I am taking the first picture with my back against the wall. What you don't see is the bathroom with a beam slanting from ceiling to floor that you have to duck under to get to the sink.

Here's the inside of the second place:
What you don't see here is the loft bedroom with sitting room and ensuite bath, the eat-in kitchen, second bedroom and bathroom, the large front porch, side porch with eating area, and back porch with hot tub. This is a popular tourist area for people from Charlotte and Atlanta. But it was February, after all.

We were in Europe for nine days to visit family, and only met two other couples from the U.S.
