update from Auvillar
I have missed blogging but my work has taken me to a remote part of the world where internet is not very accessible and when it is it is costly. I’ve included a few photos below to give you an idea of what this ancient part of France looks like. The buildings I am living and working in are 17thC. I would post more photos but I have been waiting for a fex ex package for more than a week that was shipped next day from the states. I don't think this has anything to do with the new security measures since it was shipped days and days before the Brits made their coup. PLEASE send me any stories of FED EX successes or disappointments. I am ampted to write them a letter that will curl their CEO’s toes. On top of that I don’t trust them anymore and that’s a problem since everyone here is very anxious about getting their data home. I’ve seen what can happen to a laptop that is checked with regular luggage and it isn’t pretty. One option could be FEDEX but I don’t trust them anymore. Has anyone traveled with technology during the past several days? Good stories? Bad? Please share. Its of great concern to the three writers and myself who all flew here before the caca hit the fan in London over the weekend.
Sorry there is little art to read about in this post. I hope my photos tell a story that my paintings will tell even better by the end of August.

I'm excited to see your work.
It must have been a gas, being in such a remote, lovely place.
I actually thought about you when the 'caca hit the fan'. I though, uhhhhhh,
she reaaaaaaly won't like putting her laptop in with the luggage, which i think is an outrageous request anyway.
i've never mailed important technology.....so, so sorry, but no help on that front.
You do know that mail not arriving could be due to the slowness of the postal system in that part of France.
When I was living in Germany, some parts of Europe were notorious for sloooooooow mail..
ps: no UPS?
actually the newspapers from the 15th said that at least England was letting folks take laptops on board...
I think things are calming down a bit security wise. The weather here is changing and it feels like September! I love it. I was lucky to have a few long sleeve things stored in Paris with my art materials - otherwise I would be one chilly art chick.
My FED EX pkg finally arrived so I can use my camera. It is my goal to write those FED EX people a letter with Public Relations threats that will keep their CEO awake at night.
C'est la vie.
I received your mail today.....
luuuuuuved the photos and the postcards.
:):)
