Right now I am writing from Nemours, a nice big city. They are having a western festival or something and everyone is walking around with cowboy hats on. Wierd.
Today we biked to Chateau Landon an old old city on top of a hill. It was first founded in 450 by some monks who built a wooden shelter there to house weary travelers. Later an abbey was built and fortifications, etc. but they have great records of this place throughout the ages. It even had a street that Jewish families lived on during the Middle Ages as the city was on a central route for supplies from Israel at that time. Ive nevder heard of Jews settleing anywhere in Europe during the Middle Ages so this was wuite interesting to me.
The city was beautiful with many terraced gardens and beautiful old buildings.
We started out this morning with 40 degrees and during the ride to Nemours it was 70. Its a crazy day with the temperature ranges, but great biking.
20 miles today
