been for two days. Not bad. The reason we are here at all is a bit of
a modification to our original plans. It seems each bike tour we do
must have one grand unforeseen variable that changes our plans:
Scotland had gale force winds and rain, France had the stomach flu. I
hadn't been feeling well as we left Paris a few days ago, and things
came to a stopping point yesterday out on the road after 45km (nowhere
near as bad as norovirus, but bad nonetheless). Nicky kindly demanded
that we stop in the next town and stay the night. That's why we're
here. We went to a French doctor (who opened his doors at 5pm!) and
were seen right away. Ahh the benefits of 1. A state funded universal
health care system, and 2. A lovely wife who speaks French. He gave me
some perscriptions and suggested we not ride today. So we didn't. And,
feeling much better today, Nicky and I had a picnic and a dander.
We've (more like she's) canceled our upcoming reservations and have re-
plotted our course. All-in-all, a minor setback, and we could have been
stuck in far uglier towns. Off to find a Breton sweater!
