Since we are not really familiar with Californian place names, and do not tend to notice what is on a shirt anyways, it probably goes right over our heads.

People here seem to walk and run so they are facing oncoming traffic. In this case the running girl had to stop and wait for the long line of kids to play through before she could move. Dodge had just begun to turn the corner when the herd of kids approached, so we waited patiently for them to all go by before continuing.

Hi,
I’m glad you had a good visit with Michel. The part of the Loire you are riding through is really scenic, but it seems that I have never ridden along the river , always across it, although I seem to have hit all the towns you’ve visited at one time or another. The slate roofs are easy to explain once one knows that one of the largest slate quarries in Europe was near Angers. I don’t know if it’s still operating, but it was in the 00’s. Great photos of the chateau.
Cheers,
Keith

The last one I bought like this you described as "sharky".

What is his hand gesture supposed to be signaling, if anything?

And now, Von Dutch..out of Los Angeles, CA. I think it’s strange to read California names on clothing worn in Europe with the younger crowds.
A few years ago I was told names of cities and towns in California are printed on tee shirts and the like just “to name something”, not knowing they are real places/locations not even close to each other.

What do you think?

Pasadena?? that’s a new one! And why is the gal running on the extreme left? Dodie seems to be part of the pack! :)

I think it looks pleasingly retro, kinda like the one I took to Kenya a million years ago….

If flooding, perhaps they are floating above the dock?

Although we did not especially take note of every "boire", we do feel they are a very attractive feature.

Of course. We could only see from a distance and had to guess.
