Tour Lunch Break

An even longer day than yesterday on expensive French toll roads, see here for the route. Longer than nine hours in the end, of course; we are heading back into "civilisation", so there were traffic holdups and road works. And forests and fields of sunflowers and maize and grapevines and cyprus trees and birds of prey and the brown Loire and chateaux and a red sun setting and a high bridge over the Seine here at Le Havre...

Took a lunch break at about 17h (!), drove into Tours, parked and found a place that still had steak and frites. Shocked at the price of a minuscule glass of red, we really are heading back... 

Watching the young women in Tours, they seem so confident, compared to Portuguese women.

Gratefuls:
- tensions dissipating
- Mike's heroic driving
- that my two Grandkids both had a good day first day at school, despite Zion's initial reluctance
