I'm not sure about what day it is... so I'm just going to ignore the half day that was lost to travel anyway. Arriving in Paris yesterday was exhausting. I showed up already exhausted after a second "night" without sleep in a row, got my bike about an hour later, and my rental van about an hour after that. Then the projected 4.5 hour drive to Nantes took about 8 hours. I lost track of how many times I almost fell asleep at the wheel between Paris and Nantes, but the driving around Paris definitely kept me awake. I haven't seen driving like that since Kathmandu (minus the livestock and bad roads). It was actually kind of stressful fighting for position in the rental van, in part because we'd decided against dropping another 1200 euros on car insurance. At least the roads were paved...
I was planning to go for a ride today, but my legs are kind of heavy from walking all over town today and I think the rest will prove more useful in the long run. So instead I'm gonna go grab a beer and finish working on the maps for the route... then I just need to find somewhere to print them.
