 This was the only truly rainy day.  We had a lot of sprinkles but nothing serious until today.  We were delayed by bicycle road race on a windy road that went on for miles.  We couldn't pass most of the time.

OK so in our experience here's some things we do that might help you: If your going out of country be sure and get your Global entry.  Worth it.  We laughed Ha Ha! at the poor shmucks waiting in the cattle pen line for ever as we breezed through the Global entry line like grease ...

  10:39 Our first visit today was to the The Fortres de Largoet a Ruined castle was down a very long path through a wild wood. I was grumbling and DJ was delighted with the hundred mile hike.  But it was worth it. It was as classic and romantic a ruined castle as you could ask for.  Can you spot the ghost in the lower pictures? 3:00 Along the way to coast we stopped at this beautiful "narrow base" windmill. 3:30 Then to the port town of  4:00Beautiful drive along the coast  5;00 to the ancient walled town of Saint-Michel a fortified town built in the 1400s. 7:30 Back to La Roche Barnard for dinner at the port.
