Viva La France!
In June of 2000 on his 80th birthday my father and his wife Ettie invited all six of their children on a trip to France. A trip of a lifetime on the French barge, La Luciole, traveling in Northern Burgundy. Sibling rivalries and animosities were left on the dock and the voyage was a feast consisting of not only great food and exquisite wine but also of love and renewed friendship. This page is an attempt at sharing that magic again with my family and with you.
