I am in Saumur, on the Loire River! My hundred euro replacement bike has been holding up great, although it looks and often sounds like it should have stopped working miles ago. I cannot put pictures onto the blog from this computer, but they are coming soon. It is much harder to get acces to the interent here than in rural minnesota. I have ben living of great cheese, excellent bread, and abundant pastries(the staple of my touring diet). Even though I have been on the Loire River for a fez days, I am about to enter the "LoireValley" which is the area famous for castles. The freelance camping is easy as pie here, now that I've gotten a feel for it. Anybody know anything About custums at the airport? What is allowed abd what is not? What happens if I get caught twith a piece of prohibited cheese or a bottle of wine? Do they even check? I should get back on the road, but within the next few days I'll get some pictures up. Thanks for reading.

Castles sound pretty sweet. Plus i am very jealous of your diet. Doesnt sound like it could get any better. As for customs you cant bring liquid on the plane so if your were going to bring wine back you would have to check it. Or look into mailing it back.
Yeah, I think I will be checkin gmy stuff anyway.
I brought back lots of wine from france when i was 14ish. My parents used my suitcase as overflow for wine bottles and i had no problems. Doesn't hurt to try. Just don't try to bring back a $200 bottle of wine if they decide to make you toss it.
I don't really see any 200€ anything in my immediate future. I do plan on bringing back a bit of cheese and perhaps a bit of vin to go with it. I have one cheesemonger already advisin gme, but if anyone else has wisdom on what I should taste while I'm here(or try to bring back), I'm all ears. One problem I have is that I don't have any large luggage. All I have is a drybag and a small daypack.
