Norgent-sur-Vernisson

On the way to our stop we went to grocery store and mechanics in a town called Avallon. The mechanics said they couldn’t fit us in. This seems to be the norm though. No one wants to even try to fit you in, they just don’t seem to care whether they have your business or not. The location of our stay was next to a small pond. We weren’t the only ones there but the other people weren’t all that friendly (they were in a large rig towing a car). When we finished lunch I took Julie up on her offer to go for a walk around the pond. It was raining and pretty cold out but that didn’t seem to deter us. I’ve been suffering from headaches lately and today isn’t any different. After the walk my headache turned into a migraine. We did one full lap of the pond, but it was only on the farthest bank that we saw signs posted explaining what the small structures surrounding the pond were used for. It seems that the pond is set up in stages for a work out. Hurdles, balance beam, sit-ups, chin-ups and jogging were what we could figure out or were told. Tomorrow it’s off to the Loire Valley.
