The car just passed Orpington and the day is grey, depressing, and cloudy. The chicken farm was crowded and we saw farmers, working hard for their wages. The fields that the people were mowing were beautiful, in spite of the rainy grey days. The beggars' population was higher than I had expected.

As we transitioned into Blois France, the weather changed completely. The spring greens and foliage alongside flowers made the scene like a picture. People in this industrious city are traveling to their IT jobs, and riding their motorcycles. As we passed through, we saw the chateaus, raised on hills, as like to look up and admire the mansions.

**Tours** We then, after visting Blois, we went north to Brittany. The people are cycling along with their baskets filled with bread and other groceries. The girls out in the more rural parts of Brittany are knitting on their lush, beautiful grass, and the boys are helping their elders.

On my journey thorough out Europe, I visited Blois and Brittany, now I am traveling to Dinard, and headed to Cape Frehel. Beautiful. Today on my way to Cape Frehel I saw St. Michel. Interesting. Old.

The country life is most interesting. Brittany and Normandy.
