Some random photos:

A hypermarche picture:

I am pretty much in love with the old ladies on bicycles here - they are the primary bicycle culture that I've found. This one is getting out the hypermarche. She has an old lady bike and I want you to note the set of panniers and the basket on top of her rack. He cart was pretty full - notice the bagguettes and a huge thing of leeks. Here bike is about 35 years old, mixte frame and about 4 gears. It rules. If old ladies can do it here, anyone can do it in the states.

Some graf next to the bike path, underneith a highway. Nothing really interesting to report - except the layering of writing over is incredible. If I saw one writeover in Denver, I would think that a turf war was about to erupt in that area.

It seems to be a little different, at least in this town.

There's some wild style, some cartooning and a long message to...? Probably, another writer. Seems a pretty safe place to do all this.

Here's one of the lower chambers in Mount Saint Michel:



Nice vaulted ceilings. There's a few hundred feet of similar rooms above me, which is an interesting architectural feat - which, I'll get into in a later post. Most of my pictures here are with the big camera, and I don't know if it Flickr takes the RAW format natively, or if my camera is writing a JPG version at the same time. Time will tell!

Oh! And Beard Watch, 2008 is on:




I'm forgoing shaving, to work on the beardage. At the end of the tour, I'm going to look incredible.

OK. Time to fly to Brest and the Westerly end of France - and the end of headwinds for a while! Looking forward to that. Got some warmer clothes today, so camping should be pleasant. I may even opt for a two star camp site for the shower. I guess we'll see. I may work on my askance of campsite from the farmers, just to sleep a little better.

Salut.
