I met Helmut today from Dortmünd as I started riding. He is on the Camino riding his bike starting in Dortmünd and is planning on going all the way to Santiago. I asked about riding along and he said why not? He is riding roads from town-town along the Chemin and has all kinds of maps and Google maps on his phone strapped to his handlebars. I thought I'd just follow his lead and do roads today. Every once in a while we would take a wrong turn and she would announce it tutonic German "you have made a mistake!" The joke today was "is she happy?" Helmut said "not always..." I said something like it the mans job to keep a woman happy. Helmut replied "it's not always easy" . At many turns I would ask, "Is she happy?" . More than once his reply was "I'm not sure."
It was a warm going to very hot day today, but nice to have a riding partner. We got further and faster riding today than I expected and we are staying in Montreal tonight just past, you guessed it Condom where we got tampons in the tourist office. Ok, ok; cheap school-boy bathroom humor, but you have to take pleasure where you can get it...
Nice to have company today even if it was a German dude and a stern talking woman.
Cheers
Dave
