Curse of the camping Haugo

---

The past few nights I have been staying with the Wiebes, who have graciously let me stay with them in their gite in La Charite. They are currently rennovating their place in La Charite, so I lent a hand for a couple days. Me and Dane dug out the floor of the câve below their house, where their wine cellar will be.

When I mentioned that I was planning to bike the Loire, Len said that he could lend me his bike for the trip. So I bought a small one man tent and I am making my way down the river. The Tent turned out to be the cheap kind, and I have to hold the door shut with paper clips. Right now I am set up for my second night, and in keeping with the traditions I was raised with, it has rained the entire time. It started less than an hour after I left La Charite, and slowly turned into a thunderstorm. There were strikes in literally every direction. I played it safe and didn't go into any fields if I thought the strikes were going to be close. Most of today was cloudy, but now, as I am huddled in my tent, with my moistened stuff, the rain is coming down hard again.

At least camping is cheap here.

the long and winding road...
I couldn't get a photo of it, but there was lightning all around.
