Interesting about the fingerprint access. On the one hand, kind of handy (no puns intended) since I try to keep my hands with me at all times. On the other, I guess you could wonder what they do with that data. Are you now in some Interpol database? Then again, I guess I could wonder about the same thing with the fingerprint lock on my phone.

That peculiar pillow policy was a new one on us too. We’ve never seen that. We’ll have our eye out for it though - we’re definitely not staying at a BYOP joint.

Maybe the fingerprint thing is up and coming. Let's try and remember this in five years.

I still think our being required to bring our own pillows this summer was an odd one. We bought Dollar Store cheapies. Then, our beds did have pillows! I am guessing that was the response to my email saying we were traveling by bicycle - but they didn't email back. I had no idea they decided to provide pillows after all.

I am going for kite surfing in my next life. The shoulders I have in this life wouldn’t manage it, but isn’t it fun to watch?

We’d like it better if it worked consistently. It’s a good thing we had two hands to work with.

I think the fingerprint for entry is a great thing - no worries about lost or forgotten keys or cell phones. We've never seen or heard of it before, but I like it.

"... the splendid coastal views ... the row of closely packed, bronzed, unclad bodies on the beach."

Put that way, they sound a lot like one and the same to me.

I have to admit, they do look fun. In my next life.

Lasers, the best way to scare the heck out of yourself going 5 knots!!!! So much fun. So many capsizes.

I’ll keep that mind.

Looks like de fence might also be punny...

"At rest", maybe?

A frisky 30 knot breeze will definitely test your limits, won't it?

The road wasn’t awful at least, just stressful. We can hardly complain - we’ve only had a few spells like this in the whole eight months so far.

And you’re right, suddenly it does feel like we’re in Southern California. Biking south from Hyères today it felt like we could be somewhere around Santa Barbara. I keep wanting there to be brown pelicans soaring over the waves.
