... eat later.

We moored up at Menetreol-sous-Sancerre, and then walked into town, where the book said there was some bars, restaurants and wine tasting. They were all closed, so all we could do was walk up onto the viaduct for a nice view. A pity, because we wanted to sit in a bar and watch the final of the tennis.

Mon 8 Jun – Menetreol-sous-Sancerre to la Chapelle-Montlinard

We went to Sancerre via ...

Nicer than Birmingham.

Left Blois in the rain and drove south, past Chartres with the cathedral really impressive over the plain. Tried La Motte Beuvron put not nice so onward. Weather hot as we moored by canal with mad fisherman. Cycles out and into town for pression and a bit of shopping.

... and other room for meetings starting at the same time as breakfast finishes. Even a 10 year old could suggest easier ways of doing it, that telling your guests that they must leave early. Anyway todays mission is a much more respectable distance to a town called Nevers (sounds like an album ). About twice as far as yesterday. I have the street maps and have plotted a suburban exit. Weather is great; a bit cold in the shorts but soon warm up. Ominously the wind is ...

... heart palpitations during his English class, so he started to freak out. After the ambulance was called, and the firemen concluded that nothing was wrong with him, they took him to the nearby city to run more tests on him. (this little boy was an attention seeker...not to mention...) After the ambulance leaves, the asthma girl's parents arrive to pick her up! So now the meet and greet, the evaluation, the conclusion! Put on your best smiles, and pretend as though ...

So I literally just updated my blog in 20 minutes...the last few entries weren't really that interesting to read, so I thought I'd compile my thoughts in one big entry... Life...It's very interesting. You try and juggle several things while working, and you end up just dropping everything on the ground! So another important life lesson I've learned is that you can't do everything by yourself; it's okay to ask for help from others. I ...

Somehow...i escorted 7 kids from Paris to Moulins without dying...haha, no, it was very simple! We had a few problems, nothing major though! When the train stopped, I literally had 3 minutes to throw 7 suitcases out of the train! That was fun...It's easier if a counselor does it, or else the kids will take forever to get their bags, and they might be stuck on the train going to the next city! At the trainstation I met up with my friend Gord, who's the assistant at ...

... phone box she was trying to use. Johnny our driver also managed to get intimate with a blow up doll in the cave...... The next day we got given some really bad (hand-drawn) maps and a picnic basket for each group and told to climb to the top of the work (actually just a nearby hill). We came down in time to laze around by the pool for a while, and come up with some innovative ideas for the 'Shock your mother ...

This morning, we left Nice for Lyon. There wasn't much planned for this day as this was mostly just a stopover location before heading to Paris. Apparently, going straight to Paris from Nice is too much for everyone. Not much happened in Lyon except that I ran again. Yay - going above and beyond my mission. C'est tout

... en the second part of our journey in the French canals. We travelled until Digouin, a lovely city exactly in the centre of the country. We enjoyed this half of our trip as much as the other. We also travelled by bicycle to explore the villages and countryside close to where we stopped the boat. At the end of this journey, we travelled on the fast train to Paris, a journey of about two hours.

... y pude colarme a una discoteque llamada "La Panteir Noire" en donde generalemente solo va gente de color. La pasamos super bien. Despues de haber juntado mas dinero, llego el tiempo de partir. Fue una decision dificil, pues habia entablado una muy buena relacion con la gente que habia conocido ahi y todos fueron extremadamente amables conmigo, pero habia que seguir andando, y mi siguiente destino esperaba, asi que tome un tren y me dirigi a Paris.
