Le Velo

Le Velo

In quite a bit of pain from the constant bike riding. What is it with this town and the bike riding?
In the morning I rode to the beautiful village of La Couarde where I walked along the dunes and visited a church built centuries ago. Then I rode all the way back to our place. After lunch I rode 15 km, (approximately 50 miles) to the village of Ars. I rode through a marsh and saw shelducks, egrets, white swans and BLACK SWANS! After riding back, (another 75 miles or so) I decided to rest and read my book, The 3 Weissmanns of Westport.
Husbandman gets tomorrow afternoon off, and I'm fearing he will want to do some bike riding.
God help us all.

I remember some French; Le Velo = the bike. Black swan? Were you able to get a picture?

I was thinking about you today and wondering if you had seen any birds.

Zoe brought some cool earrings in to show you today. She said, "Dr. H always has cool earrings." I told her to bring them back next week.

Yes, it is the butt. I wish I could cut it off.

Other than that, life is good. I'm off to breakfast, novel in hand.
