No bollards to make life easy tonight. I had to hammer stakes into ground that felt as hard as concrete. Maybe doing so burned off a few of those extra calories I’ve been packing on.
To burn off even more calories, we took a long walk along the canal exploring the town of Écuisses. Some of the 1,500 people who live there sat outside the Épicerie du Canal (convenience store) listening to a two-person band. Yup, that’s an accordion – we’re in France, after all. Others were actually indoors shopping.
It seemed like half the population of Écuisses was there.
