| There was enough up and down today to make me glad that we didn't try to make it to Bagnoles-de-l'Orne yesterday, although we did reach the town extremely early. We walked around, had a meal, and saw the never-ending outdoor flea market. We saw lots of old lead figurines, a small, very old foosball table, a very large bottle of wine shaped like a musket, a "L'oncle américain" game which was kind of Monopoly-esque, and a scary spikey bra. This evening we're going to walk up the hill and hopefully see the Sacre Coeur lit up for Pierres en Lumières dans l’Orne. | |
| Nemo has tried to escape several times. A couple of times Brent has had to go back to find him. Today, I wasn't sure we'd find him again, but Brent came through. Then he rigged up a safety pin connecting a couple of Nemo's fins together for me to rope the bungee cord through so that it doesn't happen again. We can't spend ALL of our time in Europe Finding Nemo! | |

The Chateau at Carrouges
Looks haunted in the mist and in black and white. Awesome way to start the day. -
Bagnoles-de-l'Orne
The start of the never-ending flea market -
Flea Market
Seriously, this flea market went on forever. We walked over 1.5km, well beyond the "leaving town" sign and the market showed no signs of ending, so we finally turned back.
