Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, no news is good news. I added a note. Basically, I think whatever got popped out of place has now been popped back in. The knee is a little tender, but I hope up to the chore tomorrow. We aren't really finding a better route than the one we have.
2 months agoNot a word about your knee. I take that as a good sign.
2 months agoGlad you’re feeling better and had a successful day.
The beaches look beautiful.
Following along, glad your knee is better and the trip has started well. I stared at the beach pics and didn't see any topless ladies, how disappointing! Save your energy (and your knee) for the mountain passes. Best of luck,

2 months agoGreat to hear that the knee is better!! I see you’re coming to Carcassonne. We’re out touring just like you, but if you get there after the 16th of June, we’ll be around and would love to meet up for dinner or lunch or coffee. rxfrasier at gmail dot com.
2 months agoOne way to do it is to have lunch as your restaurant meal. Menu du jour is often available Monday-Friday and is usually very good value.
At home, we rarely eat before 7 so France works well for us. Spain can be challenging in terms of meals!
We generally eat one restaurant meal a day. After 7 is pretty late for us. In 2023, we tried to get to town in time to eat, but that was usually by 4 PM in Spain. We are in France almost a month - we will have to work out a routine!
2 months agoLunch, if you want a restaurant meal, is generally between noon and 2. Dinner after 7, with a kitchen-closing time that seems to depend on the size of town or village. Shops are often closed between noon and two. Many businesses, including retail, are closed one or two days a week.
This can be different in big or tourism-centred places.
That’s such good news about your knee. Onward!
2 months agoWhat should we expect for mealtimes in France? Do they have the extended closed period in the middle of the day?
2 months agoWe just walked to the store. My knee seems to. be fine. It's such a relief! Thank you for the positive vibes.

I think you've got the 'easiest' route, although you've sure set yourselves up for a long day ahead tomorrow. Be careful with your navigation when you come to the French border though. It's a confusing stretch until you get back to pavement again.
