a lesson learned on skinny dipping.

After spending a few hours at Monet's Garden, Bethany and I decided to walk back to Vernon from Giverny so that we could explore the countryside.  This involved a lot of talking, singing, wandering, and more singing.  At one point, we decided to try to go swimming in what we thought was a creek along the path.  But, on our descent, Bethany sunk knee-deep into mud.  It was a deceiving little oasis.  We took some time to figure out how Beth could rinse off, and finally continued on our way.  So just a note to all of you: test the ground first before attempting to swim/wade in a pond.

Once we got back to town, we bought some bread, cheese, grapes, and chocolate for lunch . . . and then explored the town for a few hours until heading back to Paris.























We rested for a bit once we got back to the hotel, and then walked down to the river to take a boat tour.  While we waited for the boat as the sun set, we ate a kebab on a bridge and people-watched.  
. . . So pretty much a perfect day.
