Saturday In the Park...

I’ve almost forgotten (again) to post something here today. We pedalled out to a monastery just past a village called La Meilleraye de Bretagne and took a quick look around while waiting for our British friends to meet us there for a picnic lunch.

While at the lunch my allergies (hay fever?) really got out of control and my eyes were watering and itching so much that I couldn’t even keep them open most of the time. As soon as we left the park we were picnicking at things settled down a bit and we rode back toward Châteaubriant and hung around there for a little while before returning home.

Tomorrow we hope to travel up to the coast to wander around during the festivities that mark the Allied Invasion and beginning of the Liberation… otherwise known as “D-Day”. I have no idea whether or not I’ll find a place with a Wi-Fi connection so the updates may come to a grinding halt for the next few days.

Today’s ride only amounted to 31 miles, but the weather was sunny and warm and well worth the price of admission. I’m sorry to say that I didn’t take any pictures I can upload today; but I’m hoping to have a few to post in the next couple of days that will make the wait worthwhile.

We learned about everything shutting down tight on Sundays and got a little shopping in earlier this morning to make sure we wouldn't starve before Monday arrives!
