A Bit of France

Photos: one of the many amazing churches, a church can be found in every town in France; a view of a newly planted field with yellow and green fields in the background.

Post parents France, still amazing. Yes they treated us to hotels and fancy dinners but that doesn't mean we got spoiled. One day Georgia even opted for a campground vrs. a hotel! None the less we greatly apreciated the help, hospitality, and home-ness of Kenny and Megan.

After they left (Easter morning) it was hard to motivate! We biked, however but only for a bit 20ish miles until we called it quits. We threw the towel in, in a town big enough for next day to be rewarding. A storm rolled in seconds after we had set up. The sky darkened, the rain poured and thunder roared. The next day came with poor response, nothing was open. Turns out the day after Easter everything is closed. Our morning soon turned to panic, we had no map and no food! We weren't sure which was worse for Emma. After rding circles in town we found a small open market. We stocked up on food. Still mapless we headed north as per the GPS. We ended that day early in hopes of the next day bearing a map and direction. We discoverdd that north isn't enough, maps are helpful.

We have found some hills but they are a nice change from flat. France is still beautiful every turn we take. Today we experienced something unique. We biked through an area where there was nothing except grand expanses of agricultural land. We have all experienced nothing driving and riding across USA, but this emptiness was different. There was no influence of humans (except the road), no electrical lines, no farm buildings, no tractors. We were all in awe.

We will soon be in Belgium and we are enjoying our time riding greatly.
