Day 16, 17: A break and a birthday in Beaune…

July22

I took a few days off in Beaune to relax and let my body take a break. 15 days of cycling was intense and I am slightly amazed I didn’t come away with anything worse than a sore butt. I really wanted to cook my own food so I was happy to have an apartment through Airbnb. I get tired of eating out so much and eating so much bread/sausage/cheese. I think the night before this I sat on my hotel floor and ate three cans of sardines, 5 carrots, and a bag of spinach because I missed my diet so much. My diet feels a bit like Stockholm syndrome sometimes…

What did I do for my birthday? I ate some delicious vanilla flan, read 3 books, cooked a healthy dinner of dijon mustard duck, and walked around a bit. I missed my family a lot too :). Just one more day and they arrive!!!!! It is nice to remember how lonely the world can be without them :).

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
