New bike Yup, Balthazar got a new bike, a cut above the landfill fodder he'd been riding. He loves it and is pretty damn strong when he wants to be. Here he is fresh from a succesful test ride in Fontainebleau Forest.  ¶ 12:15 AM

  Etrétat Our second time in Etrétat, this time in summer. The day was cool and intermittently rainy, no surf, no wind. The tide was out so we hiked down the beach through a series of rock tunnels, up and down ladders and rope rappels to a place where we could swim. After a ten minute dip in the channel we returned to the village via the crest trail.  ¶ 12:00 AM

  Seoul I went to Korea on business. Korean food, based largely on raw vegetables and simply grilled meats, is supposedly the healthiest food on the planet. Many Koreans are hesitant to travel for fear of getting sick from the food. The owner of the restaurant doted on us like a mother, bless her heart.  ¶ 11:52 PM
