Jane: Bonjour! Il fait beau, oui? (Hello. It’s nice out, eh?)
Pierre de Cheveux-Blancs (Pierre with the white hair): Bonjour Madame. Pourquoi est-ce que votre bicyclette n’ont pas des roues? (Hello – why doesn’t your bicycle have any wheels?)
Jane: Parce que c’est un bicyclette stationnaire! (Because it’s a stationary bicycle!)
Pierre de Cheveux-Blanc: Un bicyclette stationnaire! Comment est-ce que vous faites de progrès? (A stationary bicycle? How do you make any progress?)
Jane: Je fais mon progrès dans ma tête! (I make my progress in my head!)

My bike trip took me along the banks of the Sèvre Niortaise in the resort town of Coulon…

Wouldn’t it be pleasant to live along the river?

Hi Jane. Your french is impeccable 🙂 Drawings are great. Try migrating to watercolors … would add another dimension I think.
(BTW my blog has changed to http://backwoodwander.wordpress.com/ )

Hi Denis. Yet another reason my virtual travel has been so much fun – I get to practice my French. I never thought I would use my le Robert dictionary again, but now it is right by my side. I have tried adding a little color to some of my drawings, using Derwin Inktense crayons M. gave me for Christmas. They mix with water to create watercolor. It is really fun adding the color, but I am timid. Have to take a watercolor course. Jane
