QB is several hours behind and will meet me here. She will for sure have
her own story as this we are, in many ways, on separate trips.
After a 450 meter climb at 5% grade for the first 400 meters one descends in
Sauge. Another very charming medieval hill town with a good church etc.
Today was market day. This area has no department stores or any diverse
merchandise shops. Each store is specialized. For general shopping the
market comes to your larger town. Just like the middle ages except the taxes
go to other tnhan the kings license or abbots pleasure.
Watched a 1.9meter wide truck go down a street,which due to the stalls, was
1.85 meters wide. Vendors very displeased with goods being hit.
Pedestrians of which I was one watch and waited. All traffic halted.
With tourist map in hand I went for food. The tourist office was
enthusiastic about their church and the children's museum. I asked what
else. That's it.
Atisian cheese, bread, pan au raisin, and fruit. In the market I asked the
vendor to select for me. I said I would eat it now. "What are you eating
with it?" He would have picked different ones if I said sausage rather than
cheese. Gotta love the French view of food.
At a bar having a Perrier and a beer. Might have another round before QB
arrives
Gitê versus hotels. Now pay attention as research may be required.
In the tourist office.
Me: what is the difference between gitê and Joel.
Well, gitê is generally for one night.
Me- yes but a hotel is fine for a night
Well, gitê may be for groups.
Me, yes but the obvious
Well, gitês serve food to travelers
Me, yes but….
Well, gitês are less expensive.
Me, we are getting somewhere. Always less expensive for the same quality.
No, it depends.
Are the rating systems – number of stars – different. Yes.
So………
Office personnel : its complicated.
The difference between a gitê and a hotel
Consensus by the staff. You guessed it. It's complicated.
Some cleanup items.
Dee: AU met Ann of AU in le puy
Herb: I do not know how to control picture size in gmail. Maybe a setting.
Maybe look on web. Hard for me to search on this smartphone.
