Today we had a short bike ride, but an enormous hill, to a beekeeping museum. Was interesting to taste the different honeys the bees made based on where the hive was located. Different pollen makes different honey. Also spring and summer honey tastes and looks different. The funniest part was that the owner, Mns. Gout, looked like a bee himself (picture posted above). It was a really cold morning and we finally all warmed up after walking into the village to get lunch. The village is named after the castle there, which is now in ruins.
Oh also, one of my fellow guests, Jim, was bragging at dinner the other night that he could make eggs Benedict for 40 people, so he got convinced to make it for us all for breakfast and I volunteered as assistant. So we made breakfast for everyone this morning and it was pretty darned good.
Afternoon biking was much warmer and everyone strips down to shorts and t shirts.
For dinner tonight we had an amazing fish soup and a beef bourginoine (sp?).
28 miles today!
