France 2005 - Day 5 - Paris to Bretagne region

  • Drove to Bretagne
  • Dave recuping admirably
  • Stopped @ Chartres on the way - awesome windows - cold weather outside and in gives authentic cathedral experience - great old "Salmon House" inn in old town

  • Checked into 3-floor holiday apartment near Dinard - nice - squeaky spiral stairs - Dave + Shan settle into top dormer room
  • Groceries! - 6-pack of French cheeses only 10 Euros - local hard cider - chocolate - bread - veg - wine
  • Bretagne is beautiful - cool + misty + ethereal - now understand why Bretons who fled across the Channel settled on Cornish coast - would love to spend October through March here
  • Once we were tipsy on local cider, Björn taught us a convoluted Bavarian card game - much hilarity ensued
