Back in Business
I’m back, and bigger than a breadbox… er… yeah!
We had an excellent time in France! The weather was perfect (even too perfect at times, as it was approaching 40C by the end of the week… even the tar on the roads was starting to melt), the food and wine were plentiful, and the cycling was most enjoyable. Football and smelly cheese jokes aside, France is a beautiful country and the people were exceptionally helpful and accomodating. Vive la France!
We averaged about 50km per day for a grand total of 250km over the five days of cycling, which was just about enough to give us a bit of exercise while allowing for plenty of stops for picnics, cafe breaks, etc (to counter any health benefits we might have gained from the actual cycling). The B&Bs in which we stayed were out of this world… marvellous old buildings that have been renovated and modernised, such as the Chateau de Grand Branet. I’ll post the many pictures from the trip as soon as I’ve sorted through them all, and received the ones that my uncle has on his camera.
In the meantime I finally got around to uploading pictures from my graduation!
There’s only two weeks left until Hanne moves to England, and I still have so much to do (such as finding a place to live, and a job… minor, nitty-gritty details like that). On the plus side I just found out that my green-card application was extended, therefore I am still eligible to work in the US! Now to convince Hanne…

I like the graduation tie, smelly cheese, and football jokes.
