Sunday in the French Countryside

We learned a lesson.....when you arrive in a small town in the French countryside don't wait until Sunday to try and get food supplies.  Nothing is open or is only open for a short time Sunday morning.  This includes restaurants, excluding MacDonalds.  So, today our first day in France we got up, worked out in the home gym (which is fantastic by the way) and decided to go to the grocery store around noon.  Unfortunately, the stores all close at noon if they open at all.  We were stuck with nothing except the aforementioned MacDonald.  I had a Royale with Cheese just like John Travolta spoke about in Pulp Fiction.  It was horrible and we will not be repeating this again.  Tomorrow we are getting to the grocery store and getting the proper supplies.

We have forced ourselves to get on this time zone and seem to be acclimated.  London is taking her nap right on time and slept thru the night last night.  All good so far.

  1. Adding an 'a' to McDonalds doesn't make it more French or taste any better! It's still pretty gross!
