Pascal and Catherine

 

            

           I had a very long ride today from Le Gallet to the Chambly area. However the wind was on my back and side most of the time. I was on a major highway that was quite busy although it was Sunday. There was one very long uphill that took me over half an hour to walk up. I thought that I was walking up to heaven!

    My  first PARIS sign

        I just had to stop and look back and take this photo of the lineup of people  on a Sunday  morning waiting to buy bread.

Approaching the village where my host's live. It looks like mostly newer houses on the outskirts.

       

      I don't know the corrent translation but to my mind it says- a village in great debt.

      When I arrived Pascal and Catherine were not home. I took the time to clean and lubricate Silver and check her tire pressure. I checked with the neighbour to make sure that I had the correct address. Then I looked up where the closet store was and bought some food gifts of strawberries, chocolate bar and nougat and pastry. I went to a little Square and sat on a bench and did a Facebook and new route for tomorrow and tried to What's App Caroline. 

Pascal and Catherine were out for a bicycle ride and I received a text from them later which made me feel better.

Catherine checking out my blog. She has it set translated into French. I will have to try to read it that way to improve my French.
