Riding in Provence
We made it down from Paris on the TGV
yesterday and then to our hotel in Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence
without any incident. We have had a couple of suppers with our bike
group and one day of riding and it is a great group of folks to be
with.

Tonight at dinner we sat with a couple
who was not quite as lucky, British Airlines lost their luggage, so
they are in Provence with the clothes on their back. It seems that
every time they talk to British Airlines they get a different story
about where their things are and when they will get them. The were
able to go shopping today and have rental bikes so at least they are
riding tomorrow.

We had a very pleasant ride today, it
was pretty flat and not to far. They use kilometers over here which
is great when you are cycling, you feel like you have made a major
accomplishment when the odometer reads 65km! It sounds a lot more
impressive than 40 miles. The weather was warm and sunny, but not so
hot to be oppressive.
