Catching up...

21 July

Sorry, got behind again.

It's been a long time since I was so elated by the free wi-fi in Belgium.

We are back in les Brevieres, and if all goes right, there should be three other new entries for you to look at. I don't think the blog lets me backdate them, so it will probably look like they're all from today.

Anyway, we toured the lands devastated by trench warfare in WWI, then Normandie and Bretagne (le Mont St. Michel is going on our list of things you should see while in Europe; touristy but really cool, especially at night), watched the French World Cup team beat Brazil and Portugal, then lose to Italy in the finals, spent Bastille day in Carcasonne watching the Tour de France and the fireworks after securing the last site in the campground, and otherwise generally enjoying ourselves.

Oh, and we finally got our French Cartes de Sejour! So we're legal, until May at least.

The photo shows what happens in a small town when the French team wins a World Cup game. We didn't take any pictures when they lost.
