10 March 2008: Aujourd hui, vous allee a Chene du Lac camping en le petite ville du Bayas, en route a la Saint Emilion/Bordeaux aire. Le directions c’est en Dutch. Et, le ville et le autoroute D247 n’est pas en le atlas. Mais voila, vous ici! Je vior tres vineyards et congac-eries(?) en route. C’est tres bon! Pardon moi. Je parle et escribe France tres mal. Mais, je n’ attend pas le deux ans de lessons du France en 22 ans. C’est la vie!

(Today, we went to the Chene du Lac campground in the small town of Bayas on the way to the Saint Emllion/Bordeaux area. The directions were in Dutch. And, the town and the street D247 (to go into town) were not in the atlas. But voila, here we are! I saw a lot of vineyards and congac-makers on the way. Everythings great! Excuse me. I speak and write French very bad. But, I haven’t attended my two years of French lessons in 22 years. Such is life!)

The camping season in France doesn’t usually open until April and there are only a few open year-round, so we have to seek them out. Originally, we were going to go straight to the coast. But, I wanted to also see Saint Emillion and didn’t want to back track. Kailani’s sick again, but just a bit of a cough. The past two days of driving are probably good for her after not napping through the two days of sightseeing in Paris. We get on the road right before her nap time, and the car ride keeps her sleeping well. The wind was fierce on the drive with our high-top camper blowing all over. So, Sean was driving with white knuckles the whole way. I was stressing a bit over finding the campground. But, we’re here!
