Day 6

June 14, 2012

I was awakened this morning by a cuckoo clock. Or, it sounded like a cuckoo clock.

"Did you guys here that bird this morning?" I asked Leo and Steph. "It sounded just like a cuckoo clock."

"Well, yes. Maybe that's because it was a cuckoo bird."

SOOOOORRRRRY! I've never heard one, or if I have I can't recall it. So now Leo and Steph think I'm a moron. Well, it's better they find out sooner rather than later.

Though they did learn I am teachable...

They taught me how to say "TP", as in toilet paper, in French! It's "PQ"-pronounced pay-coo, meaning "papier cul". Which means "ass paper".

Man, I am learning SOOOOO much riding with Leo and Steph!

The ride itself was tough today. Lot's of climbing, though even with that I can't complain. The day was beautiful with bright, warm, sun.

Leo says this means, "the first obstacle to knowledge isn't ignorance, it's not knowing you're ignorant." Food for thought.

Leo said they used to put horse in these to put shoes on them.

Look, Roy. This one's for you. Only YOU can prevent forest fires, right?

Hey, Roy. THIS is a French fire hydrant :-)

Today's ride: 69 km (43 miles)
Total: 173 km (107 miles)
