A few days after the conclusion of our delightful workshop with Gail Rieke, we left for the Brittany coast to meet up with some of our best friends from California, Cass and Billy. They had rented an apartment in one of the most beautiful spots on the coast of Dinard and invited us to join them. We had stayed in this same apartment with them two years ago and all of us were anxious to relive that most extraordinary experience. We had been planning and anticipating it since almost immediately after the last time we were there in 2022. The Château des Deux Rives is a mansion built in 1878 by the wonderfully named Count Joseph Dahdah on a point of land jutting out into the Bay of St. Malo and offering a view of more than 180º of coastline.
