and on our 2nd day in france we walked 10 miles

It seems like our trip to France was forever ago but really it was just 3 weeks. So much has happened since then and I've done a terrible job blogging about my experience, observations, and insights from France.

So I'll start with something light. We walked a lot! Sure they have a great metro system but you don't see much of the city if you're underground.


On our second day we walked 10 miles. (Ok, so the map says 9.35 but I'm sure we underestimated the route and we didn't count buildings, churches, and museums that we walked around inside of.) Check it out on Walk Jog Run.net

Maybe this isn't so impressive, but think for a second of a place that you know that's about 10 miles away. For me, that's like walking from my apartment to the southern edge of San Francisco (like Candlestick park)...or from my parent's house it's like walking from Danville to Walnut Creek.

Anyway, yes, we were very, very tired the next day but it was worth it.
