So, the first stage of the tram system has opened in Tours (August, 2014) and how gorgeous it looks; stylish, futuristic, silent and dreamy car-free sweeps of open roadways…..yes, I love them trams!
Here are some pics Sandra and I took when we visited our regional capital last November. Enjoy…..

Good morning Jim and Sandra…
and Bonny Noel to you both!!
Very nice report on the tram…
we’ve yet to ride it, though.
I am much more interested in those boats!!
I might need to use them as a pattern if the rain gets any worse…
I’ve ordered the timber….

A whole year and no posts…

OK….I posted today! How are you both? xx
