A Funny Thing Happened While in Briare

After the new passengers were onboard, working conditions got a bit out of hand, so the crew (Kirsty, Emma, and I decided to made a mad dash for the shore and leave the owners to explain it to the passengers in the morning. Life is funny that way sometimes. So, after the passengers ate and were on a little walk around Briare, we loaded our stuff under cover of darkness and headed into Briare for the night. Kirsty and I ended up staying in Briare another day and then heading for Paris for three days. Emma went off to Montargis with her friend and will hopefully be off to Nepal soon.
I will continue to post the pictures of the places we visited (I am a few places behind), then will continue again in York, England. We are spending some time there with Kirsty's sister and brother-in-law. As to where we are gonna land next, who knows. I am writing this in a coffee shop in York.
The next pictures are from Moret:

The next pictures are from the ancient tannery below Chateau Landon. This region was known fro being the best tannery in France.








More to come my friends, as time allows. Staying out in the country (Martin (Kirsty's brother-in-law is a chicken farmer) so the internet is limited. Now the internet is wigging out so it is time to go. Miss you all and will post the remaining five stops when I can.

Peace.
