On the last: Three of us were lost, cycling to Bratislava. I (think that I) asked a Slovakian woman for directions to a small town. She tried, but left us still puzzled. Suddenly she reappeared, took paper and pen out of her purse, and set her purse on the sidewalk. For the next 10 minutes she proceeded to draw he most amazingly detailed directions for the 40 km to our guest house. All because three guys in spandex were lost in her country. Lovely. That map has been framed and is passed from one of us to another yearly.
Travel: France April-September 2011 and then November-March. In May-June: four weeks in a small commune near Versailles, one week on a leisurely bike/barge tour of the Loire Valley, and one cycling the Alps around Nice and Monte Carlo. Oof! What I learned: (1) Don't let Guido pick the bike route, (2) there's a big difference between one week and six weeks when trying to get to know a place, and (3) living outside the center of tourism is a different experience. But then I got invited to spend August in the Rivera. I leaped on a jet before the hosts sobered up enough to retract the invite. Returned in September. The leaves on some trees were starting to turn then; now they're largely history till spring. Mistakenly decided to study French in Paris November - March 2012. The French classes in Paris were good. The weather - let's say not what this Southern California boy had in mind. However it's starting to warm up there now, and the Saint-Tropez hasn't got the tourists yet...
