L`Auberge de la Fontaine Villiers-sur-Suize

Yesterday we rode from Schaffhausen to Larroch to Vesoul, via Basel, to Pressigny nr. Langres. 180 wonderful miles. Fantastic roads; beautiful scenery. Amazing luck finding a room for the night, where we dined on wild boar and good company, followed by a few beers at the village fete/feast. Woke up this morning to the sound of rain :-(

... aankomen staan onze oude buren er al. Ze hebben de koffie al klaar en bieden ons ook een kopje aan. Het wordt een gezellige ochtend. Eind van de middag klauteren we naar beneden het stadje in, boodschapje, terrasje, heerlijk. Vandaag minder mooi weer, maar wel een vrijwel lege camping, zalig! Het stadje is niet echt heel bijzonder, maar heeft wel alles wat we nodig hebben.

... with grass up to our bikes, but it was pretty soon sorted and we ended up staying at a great farm where the donkeys kept us awake and acted as a wake up call. Day one finished.....wow only 159 days to go, i think the realisation started to sink in, with a big smile i have to say DAY 2 - Chenoise to Troyes - "Flat roads...am i in heaven?" (98 - 186km's) ...I love it, how nice is it to start the trip and to have flat roads, like in holland. Been a ...

... on Tuesday were lovely, but how strange to have relatives visit when away on holiday in another country. My dad and his friend Penny were also on holiday in France this week and were passing nearby on their way back up through France to come home. They stopped for lunch in our caravan, and a little tipple of wine! It was a little reminder of home for us all, and it was a great couple of hours.

17th - 18th November 2006, Beaune, Burgundy, France It had started raining the night before and as we drove the short distance to the French border, it had no intention of stopping. Our electrical problems of a few weeks prior (see our entry for Cefalu) had raised its ugly head again and we were having trouble getting the car started and were concerned that it may stop altogether. So, we took the first exit off the freeway in France and went in search of a ...

... and has kids. (He doesn't wear a wedding ring though...) After my interview tonight, I'll be packing up to leave for Strasbourg bright and early in the morning. I think it will be another great weekend! Muah! Kate P.S. For anyone who would like to complain about gas prices: Gas in Dijon = 1.11 Euro/liter SO, 1.11 X 1.3 (to change from Euros to Dollars)= 1.44 1.44X 4 (to go from liters to gallons)= $5.77 YES, that's right...a gallon of gas costs $5.77!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, We went on our usual Friday field trip...it wasn't as good as last week, mostly becuase the a/c was broken on the bus, so that meant 5 hours in an incredibly HOT bus driving up and down the hills of Burgondy. We went to Autun first, where there is a medieval cathedral that we studied in my Architecutre class. Then, we drove up to Bribracte, which is the site of a huge excavation. The celtics established an important town here ...

Hi all! So I promised to start throwing in a few scandalous stories because apparently, I'm not sharing enough of that kind of stuff. So basically, I'm going to tell you about the guys over here....not as romantic as one would imagine: 1) Not only do the guys on my floor feel that it is acceptable to use the restroom with the door open, they also feel that it is ok to wear the shortest shorts physically possible...I asked ...

... Brussels (6/23). If anyone has any suggestions of what I should be doing in those places, let me know! Let's see here. Mom wanted a little more explanation of the co-ed shower thing. No, there is not one spout for us all to share!!! Actually, there isn't much too tell....there are two stalls with doors that lock...so there is no chance of me getting a peek at cute Mr. Austria, but I will try to bring him home for a certain J-town chica. ;) Also ...

Bonjour, I hope everyone at home is doing well. Things are picking up over here, now that classes have started. In general, I have class every morning from 9-12, and a class from 3:30-5ish on Mondays and Tuesday. I'm taking French Civ and also Medieval Architecture. My French Civ class has been VERY boring so far...I won't mention any names, but the prof has been reading out of his ...
