Not a problem here. Once I got a few miles out of town I hardly saw a car all day.
2 years agoGreat scenes, great pics, in spite of terrible wind! We were driving along the west bank of Lake Garda and the wind was fierce. Many cyclists were out on the busy road because it was Saturday, but it looked downright dangerous.
2 years agoIt really has been an amazing run, alright. Each one of these feels like such a gift.
2 years agoMélanie has made my evening from thousands of miles away, just with that smile!
2 years agoYa know, you keep saying “best of the trip so far” and “top 5 of x ever” etc etc. It seems like you’re just having one more, ho hum, in a series of trips of a lifetime. Good on ya.
2 years agoWell, kudos to internet image searches and comparing with a good photo... I am learning a lot, but at 76, I think I am forgetting more than I can remember.
Thanks for the nature photos!
Thanks, Bill. Yes, that’s it. We’ve seen this before in the last few years. I remembered that it began with the letter A, but that didn’t actually narrow things down very much.
2 years agoThanks, Rich. Definitely an inspiring part of the world.
2 years agoYou're on a roll, Mr. Anderson. Your last few journal entries are definitely waking up my traveling itch. Good job!!
2 years agoYes! A very handsome cat.
2 years agoMight be Asphodelus aestivus.

Sounds like we’ll just miss each other then. We’re biking down the Ardeche and staying a couple of nights in Vaison as well, but we’ll be there about ten days from now.
2 years agoWe will start in Cahors and travel south to the Tarn. We'll follow the Tarn and Ardèche rivers heading east to the Rhone. We had planned to complete this ride previously but were thwarted by rainy weather. Fingers crossed this time. From the Rhone we will ride to Vaison-la-Romaine and then south to Toulon. From there - a ferry to Majorca. I am always excited about the next tour but this one should be really good!
2 years agoThat’s exactly right - just challenging enough to give us a sense of adventure and accomplishment. Plus, the cat!

An amazing ride, fantastic photos. And the dolmen bonus - did you just stumble upon them?
