Central Casting





From left to right: Bernard, Ellen, and Chef Kathryn










From left to right: Tom, Pamela, and Duffy








I arrived at the Saumur train station at 12:15pm. My travel mates and host were not scheduled to meet at the station until 5pm.

5 hrs to kill...nothing a couple of glasses of vino and a snooze on a train station bench couldn't solve.

Alas, I heard the sweet, familiar sound of fellow New Yorkers in the voice of father & son duo, Tom and Duffy. Soon thereafter, we met with Chef Kathryn, our trip coordinator extraordinaire, Jessie, Pamela, Ellen, and the legendary Bernard, our translator/driver/tour guide/shaman.

By the way, I like to pronounce Bernard's name the way that his French friends and associates say it, "Beck-Nod."
