Thursday, 1 October

Arrive at Glinny – pronounced ‘Glonh!’ found Cam at a Migros, a huge Safeway/Thrifty’s/Quality Foods-style grocery store, which I had taken for a bank. We went in to get some francs and there was Cammo waving at us from a checkout counter.

That afternoon we settled in to the farm/B&B. Later that evening we were driven by Cam and Ian to his Aunt Gina’s place in France, name to follow. There we met Ian’s Mom, Kate and his Dad, Brian. A fun time playing 45s on Gina’s high fidelity audio system (circa 1812, a portable 33, 45 rpm record machine who’s time should be up) and talking about rock and roll. As foreigners in this neck of the woods Bev and I enjoyed the give and take of Brian’s and Ian’s political stance. Generally speaking, Ian’s seemed to be middle of the road while Brian’s was run them all over! Excellent time was had by all. Around midnight as Cam drove us home I requested a light snack detour. Turned out that nothing was open after sundown.
