now in lyon, pretty good for a little shopping town, but I dont shop, so staring into windows hopelessly at own reflection. We are moving pretty fast, unlike my wpm on this crazy french keyboard which is frustratingly slow. Who needs 16 keys of punctuation at your fingertips?

Anyways lets play catch up. left paris and stopped in chartres for the night, visited the cathedral when nobody was there, a nez experience, then proceeded to get lost and time was ticking down to gates closing at camp site, but April saved the day and found our car. I will now type with no apprehension for keyboard starting noz.

Next stop zqs in Jargequ on the loire. I got to plqy soccer for the first ti,e in q zhile and was despicable compared to them. Never found q morning street market but still very nice to stay in. Instead zent to the french costco cqlled Auchan where we bought cooler that charges from car and nice blankets. We have since returned to various auchan locations 3 times now for items including my new very french swimsuit. very short but not yet speedo-esque.

Next night in Beaune, probably nicest town yet and it knows it. Very cool little streets, fancy dinner in a cave. I ate SNAILS, and beef bourgignon in burgundy the birthplace of its creation. next morning went to street market which was pretty cool, bought some olives and whatnots, then proceeded to see same items at Auchan later that day for 50 centimes less.

As I said now in Lyon, were supposed to see feist in concert tonight, April even bought the tickets online, thought we had to go pick them up 100 miles away but nice lady at desk who looks like my cousin Joan helped us find a place to pick up tickets in Lyon. When we got to the billeterie, found out concert was cancelled. So proceeded to wander streets hopelessly looking in shops and being reminded of my less than desirable appearance.
Soon eurocup and Mediterannean beaches. Yes I am too stubborn to give up typing correctly on the keyboard.
