First stop: Nevers

We are told that the French trains are always on time. Except when there is a strike... and there is one right now. Finaly, after two hours the train for Nevers leave, crowded. I'm tired and hungry. Fortunately we had a lunch and our cards. After winning 2 games of cribbage, and letting Pierre almost win the next one, we arrive.

A tall hadsome bearded young man is waiting for us. We almost did not recognized our son!.

There are many wonderful sights to visit in Nevers, the duc's palace, the cathedral, Ste Bernadette's body, in a glass coffin. We walked so much I got blisters between my toes! cathédrale ST-Cyr & Ste Julitte
We leave the next day in our rented Alpha Romeo. Our final destination is still unknown, but we're headed south. Benoit will be coming with us for a week. Our first stop is in Auvergne.
