Today we were headed for la mer (La Mer – Charles Trenet), the sea, which we were definitely looking forward to. We were also looking to get some better weather since last night we were happy to eat in a restaurant which cooked over an open fire and spread the warmth around the restaurant. First I wanted to see the water bridge whereby the canal du midi enters the city crossing the Orb river! After we got that sorted we tried to leave the job of navigation to our GPS but we always have to keep a healthy skepticism about it’s directions, today being a good example. Sometimes it takes you where you just know is the wrong direction, or is trying to keep you on the really less traveled routes. And sometimes it just is not aware of the brand new 20km long perfect bike path which paralleled the beach all the way from Marseillage plage to Sète! Score! Add in that it was the warmest sunniest day yet with a good healthy tailwind which got us into top gear and 50km/hr for a stretch and there’s not much left to say.

These self portraits are tricky.
That's a bit better.
We could only be in France because beers that small are outlawed in most countries.
