Backing Off In Brittany

Not so boring
For a supposedly flat and boring part of France, your photos make it look really very appealing. Must say that I think you have taken your best yet with In Goldent Tent - brilliant composition. Perhaps your inner Celt may have something to do with your evident affinity for the area. If so, you had better stay clear of the realtors windows in Galway! Thanks for the congrats - although this is just for the first six months as we work on a calendar year. The result of a lot of hard work by a lot of good people.

Traveler vs Tourist
I am perhaps the only American who visited Normandy and visited only German cemeteries (we were with a Canadian couple, the wife's father was a German soldier who had died of appendicitis the year before the invasion, and she wanted to find her father's grave). Anyway, if being a traveler means that you can't stop to see the historic, cultural, and scenic sites in the country you are passing through, then I would rather be a tourist than give up such to qualify as a traveler. In your area we visited Mount St Michal, St Malo, Dinant, and cut across Brittany to the southern coast to Karnac, with its dolmens and menhirs from the same age as the Stonehenge. Returning in the direction of Paris we stopped in Anger with its massive fortress, and saw the best of the chateau on the Loire, and Fontainblue before Paris. As a traveler, you should be able to visit these sites, but the difference between a traveler and a tourist is that you can take your time to savor each site, and not just check them off your list.

Hello you two :-)
