Over ripe fried tomato

That's how I feel after five hours paddling down the Dordogne on a hot summer afternoon, despite numerous dips in the water. We covered almost twenty kilometers.

Got home in time to cheer the Spanish goal and the end of the World Cup. Yeay!

Tomorrow four of us head south to cycle the Canal du Midi which connects the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. It was constructed in the 17th century, amazingly enough.
