I am not Hemingway.....

but does anybody have any early memories of France and Spain in the 1950's and 1960's?

France in the early 60's when I was working on a farm and a chateau there:

-a large single cylinder tractor that was the only mechanical implement the farm had.
-kitchen staff getting me drunk on red wine while the owners were away.
-cycling around the local vineyards.
-watching a hill climb near Bordeaux. Cars performing such as Fiat Abarth.
-Lots of neat cars. Panhard, Reneault Dauphine, Deux Cheveaux etc

Spain?
-Lots of Seat cars.
-Drinking full bodied red wine in the hot summer sun.
-Fish soup - ugh..
-Sister got apprehended for swimming in a one piece bathing suit!Sorry no pics.
-I did not attend but my parents went to bull fights. How could they do that I don't know.
Just a few memories...
Any of you have early memories of France, Spain if not how about anywhere in
Europe?
