We are in the process of preparing for our return to France.
We are also looking for an apartment in Paris or the surrounding area, starting in mid-May 2010. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
Since Monday morning, a strange but not unfamiliar feeling has been with us: a feeling of freedom. A cool autumn wind, with just a hint of the approaching winter, blows in our hair, the muscles of legs warm up ... After 3 comfortable weeks sitting in a car, getting back in the saddle hasn’t been as hard as we thought.
We took our time in the small village of Monterey, and even saw the aquarium. The ticket price wasn’t cheap ($25), but it was worth it. We spent the whole afternoon there, and were rushed towards end since we wanted to see absolutely everything before they closed!
Our spirits are rising as we go, and especially as we meet new people. In the 3 weeks that we spent in the car we didn’t meet anyone, but in the 2 days we’ve been back on the bikes we’ve already met about a dozen people from all over the world: Canadian, Germans, Americans and Belgians!
There’s no question in our minds: biking is great for meeting people – it keeps encounters casual, relaxed, and friendly!
