Los Cholos salen de Cholet - un dia en el campo
Hoy, fuimos en el coche y visitamos muchos sitios en la region (algunas veces vimos cosas por habernos equivocado en la carretera). El primer sitio fue un pueblo pequeño donde la unica cosa que hicimos fue sacar fotos de una iglesia. Pero... el dia ...
It's time for you to catch up on my life, yo.
... 's a lot easier to surf the web, catch up on Lost and Community and just do nothing than it is to sit down and do work. France has kind of made me lazy with forcing myself to do things. I'm just having so much fun, that when work happens, it's somewhat ...
Breton no more; the land of castles beckons.

Don't look back in Angiers,

De ene kilometer is de andere niet
Al fietsende krijg je een heel ander beeld van het begrip kilometer. Zo heb je makkelijke, korte kilometers. Die kom je tegen als het bergaf gaat. Dan heb je nog de moeilijkere en héél lange kilometers. Dat is een teken dat je bergop aan het fietsen ...
