The traveling life has its drawbacks too; like the chambermaid knocking on your door at 9AM, waiting to make up the room in spite of the do not disturb sign on the door, the bath towels size of a small hand towel, the hard beds and strange pillows.
Its ornate gold and turquoise domes were barely visible through the leafy tree branches making a good photograph impossible.

A tiny microwave, fridge, electric water boiler, another tiny sink, and a table make eating hot food in the room easier. A lookout tower also watches the river, and as a ship passes, a loudspeaker plays the national anthem of the ship, a brief message of welcome to the ship and then gives statistics of each ship such as size, year it was built and where, and cargo capacity. From the Dordogne we rode back through the Auvergne, hoping to see an autumn display of colorful leaves. We bought a big bag, about a kilo, full of large boiled crayfish, ready to eat.
Now, if you knew that there were only about 2000 GTS's ever made, you would understand how incredible it is that we keep running into people who own and Mike spent a happy hour talking about the bike and their experiences and exchanged e-mail addresses promising to keep in touch. We rode north a bit, up to a rocky shore, and had lunch in a restaurant with a view of the sea then walked down to the water where families had spread out their blankets on the rocks to sun themselves and have picnics. Conscious of an impending storm, we stopped at the first picnic area past the town that we came to. We rode through leafy tunnels of trees arching over the road, occasional brown leaves falling slowly to the ground to swirl in the wake of our passing and the sunlight strobing between the trees planted along the road.

Pounti is a sort of light, fluffy meatloaf with bits of cured ham, pork breast, prunes and beet leaves. Peeled grapes for eyeballs, oiled spaghetti for brains, perhaps some Jell-o for some other organ.

Now it really looks like Oregon! ) The other pillars have long been gone, some removed to decorate a park on the other side of town, others taken perhaps to use in building a palacio somewhere. The next morning nice and early, we crossed over the Reschen pass into a strange corner of Italy with bilingual signs, looking a bit Austria but with a difference that was hard to define.

A classic Swedish blonde with a wide smile, she had spent a year as an exchange student in New Zealand and her fluent English has a distinct Kiwi accent. King Henri IV had signed an edict authorizing the Protestants to freely practice their religion, but when Louis XIV came to power, he decided that he wanted to return the town to Catholicism. It is difficult to imagine not having ample sidewalks and building facades that are not aligned with each other, but here it is normal for a sidewalk to suddenly become too narrow to walk on or disappear all together.
