Perfect last shot!

Scott,

More French lesson: Just say "Nous sommes deux." You'll sound like a Frenchman and avoid the word that is easy to confuse. On the other hand there is nothing wrong with "deux pressions," maybe it is a mistake that you make subconsciously on purpose.

Yes! That’s just what I thought.

Funny that it’s in English....

That’s correct, it’s a painting. I came across a few other buildings like this in the neighborhood this morning. However, it looks to me like the intent is the same, and I’m assuming they mask real windows because some are exposed and appear to be lived-in units. Not positive though.

I am positive though that it’s not a real cat.

Are you sure it is a window and not a trompe d,oeuil wall painting?

Looks like a nice place, alright. Unfortunately it was closed Sunday night, as was nearly everything else. We were happy to find a bar/pizzeria.

Ours too, of course. We hit the jackpot, and got both.

You could, but you can’t. It almost fits that way, which we’ve often done, but not. I think it would have gone if I removed the handlebars, but folding was easier.

Or you could remove panniers, tip the bike up on its rear wheel and head on up.

Our vote is for sun.

We ate a good dinner at this deli after our day ride to Pont du Gard in November 2011. Glad it's still here!

Great to hear from you, Eva! Strangely enough, Rachael and I were talking about you over dinner last night, reminiscing about how much we enjoyed our visit in Nelson.

You were here in November also? Twice? I’ve really been surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed seeing this country so late in the year, but we’ll see how long it lasts. It was quite cold and damp today.

Thanks for checking in. Keep warm, keep dry.

Asparagus! I've been wondering if that's what was growing in the fields you have photographed! This confirms it!

Lovely, thank yiu.
