Thanks, Suzanne. Córdoba! I love Córdoba. I almost lost Rachael there though, when I forgot my wallet at the hotel and we couldn’t pay for our evening meal. I ran off in the dark, leaving Rachael at the restaurant as collateral, but soon realized I couldn’t find the hotel and didn’t remember its name. I finally stumbled on it, and then realized I couldn’t find my way back to the restaurant and didn’t know its name either. Awesome white gazpacho though!
6 years agoGreat story! You were luckier than our friends, also touring on the French Mediterranean, who returned from their swim to find their bikes and complete touring gear gone!
6 years agoHappy Birthday! What a great trip and so much to celebrate 🎉! Blue skies for the final days of your trip as well. Perfect. Best wishes from Janos and me, now in Córdoba.
6 years agoI’m really enjoying these videos too. She’s really gotten better at them over the last year. They make a really nice recap to the day.
6 years agoAnd, the 111th entry in the journal!
6 years agoThat was the main draw for me also. They had a fine selection of cookies too, but to my surprise Rachael didn’t bite.
6 years agoYou might give this part of France another try someday then. You can bike a long ways on very safe, mostly separated bike lanes. It’s quite different now than it was 20 years ago, and much more bike friendly. All this ends at Collioure though, and there’s only the coast road as you continue west to Spain.
6 years agoI had to get out my journal! The trip was in September 1992.
We started the day from Port-Bacarès. "In the morning we headed south along flat, reasonably quiet roads. But as we approached the Pyrénées, all roads converged onto the N114. The last 10 km or so into Collioure, along that narrow, windy, and busy highway, were scary. We changed our minds about a day trip to Spain."
EXCELLENT RENDITION, WISH I HAD DEDICATED SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO MY OLE PAINTS...
6 years agoWell, you know we have an unlimited appetite for food photos also.
6 years agoWell, now you have us intrigued.
6 years agoI would have stopped just for the accordion.
6 years agoA Grumby masterpiece! And who was that fetching young lady who whizzed by?
Old Paint is happily resting among the walnut leaves and says don’t count her out just yet.
This video should shock your readers, who have become accustomed to the exceptional photography and content of your journal. Hopefully most will recover without too much trauma.
Thanks for the Porridge shout out!
Well at least you hadn't lost your wallet. That time.
