Linda goes Française: we all go hiking

Linda, who is driving this trip, has really become an expert pilot of our rented Peugeot 207. Add in the flare with which she is dressing and displaying, and, well she is a worthy visiteur.
This morning we went on what was advertised as a 5 km butterfly hike outside the medieval town of Brancion. The hike did not disappoint: thousands of small, bright butterflies, including the blue ones that I understand are rare in Burgundy, flitted in the wildflowers that lined the trail that passed through vineyards and wheat fields.
It was very warm this morning, and one longish downhill section proved a challenge for my weak legs (but that’s probably a good thing). Some Alleve and a nap fixed that problem. We walked with David and Ricki Perry, who were really good sports and company, even when I got us lost…
