“ Manu, I have something to tell to you. Your dog is called Flower Beach and is purple. I will go look for it when I am older. It is called Flower Beach because beaches are purple.”
- A. Thompson (age 5)
I would attempt to provide context to the story but nothing I could come up with is going to do this justice. All I can say is that the background to the story involves a luggage identifying tag, a made up story about a lost dog in Barcelona airport and the imagination of a five year old in a car on the way to look at Pont d’Avignon.
Another good story: We were in a bar in Dormans, and HM told the owner that we just came from climbing Mont Ventoux on our bikes. He looked at us and said "The happiest day of my life was when they stole my bicycle."
