we are now moving into northern france. yesterday we left the warmth of the south and met the wind and rain. we arrived in rocamador about 1pm with a light drizzle and only three reversals. we are getting much better at reading a map and french roadsigns. we've begun to love roud abouts since we can read the signs over again if we need to!
our last night in pennautier we are at the local chateau du pennautier. they have a restraunt and wine room. our dinner wasset for 730 but about 710 the raIN CLOUD LET LOOSE. we were dressed in our traveling finest. everything below coat line was drenched and the alley was running about 6" of torrent. we drove around the town once and the rain stopped. we decided to change got there dry. the food was very good and the dessert was wonderfu!
regina was complaining about her knee after hiking the stairs up to the town and then following the 14 stations of the cross about 1000 ft up to the top. the grand staircase was a trial but it was easier when we found out that the pilgrims went up on their knees.
tody we went to chambourd. very impressive. we finally found our hote but will need gas before we get out of town. more when we get another computer. our host is letting us use their computer. xxxooo
