To Pouilly-en-Auxois

May 22, 2022

It’s eleven and we’re in the lobby with Suzanne and János, checked out of our rooms and waiting to leave. There’s a slight anxious hold-up though as we wait for Susan to return from the tea shop she stopped in a on the way back from her photo crawl to see if (hopefully!) her camera is still there.

In the meantime, Suzanne and I have a brief competition to see whose camera zoom is the most powerful. We focus and shoot the hubcap on the car parked across the street, and there’s the inevitable tension while we wait for the judges to turn in their slips to announce a winner. I win!! It’s not even close, really. With Suzanne’s result (which we won’t embarrass her camera by including here), you can’t even tell that it’s a Ford. Pitiful.

As a consolation prize we compare wide angle lens features, and mine loses - narrowly.

Susan returns a few minutes later, a broad smile on her face and flashing a thumb up. She’s had a few tense incidents lately so I chide her that she should start posting adversity-free day updates to remind herself to be more careful. She agrees that she needs to up her game, and does succeed in making it through perhaps the next two hours without further mishap. Pretty good, Susan!

So with the camera accounted for we’re finally off. And hey, I’m supposed to be on a blog break! See you tomorrow.
