A great road trip to an old old city built of stone. The US soldiers came here and were hidden in WW 2 and you can just imagine what was going on in the town.

I will be back in September with new ideas, photos and stories. I’ll be working on my two new works while I’m away. I can be contacted on Instagram. Have a great summer.

The Dragon and the Prince of L’Azure
There was a greedy king in the land of L’Azure; this was the most desirable land in the Kingdom because the mountains were filled with unblemished gold. The only problem was that there was a river dividing L’Azure into two parts. The dragons had the unblemished mountains, their land was unmarked with beautiful trees and big caves for the dragons. These dragons were white dragons, the most peaceful and loving of all dragons; the men of L’Azure had lived across from them for many centuries and were not afraid of the dragons. Their former King and the dragons lived in harmony. The evil King that ruled now should have been more careful, because this is what happened……..

It wasn’t long before some of the Gugler’s came riding back to us and the Knights behind us. They were shouting orders in French.

“Wow! There it is on the hill! It is gorgeous! Too bad it had to get destroyed.” Casey looked sad. “Hmm, too bad we can’t change history.”

This is where Jackie Lee and Casey are headed now. It was destroyed but not in the 1300’s. Enjoy!
