Busy busy touristing! We headed to Chantilly today because, due to pollution, they've made public transport free, so we took advantage. A long train trip, a long lunch, a nice wander through a lovely castle, and a hike back through the woods looking for exciting birds (our friend Rick is a birdwatcher). Due to a weird set of circumstances we ended up taking back the fast train (it's not clear we were supposed to), followed by drinking several local beers and the insane chocolates our friends purchased (along with dramatic reading of their associated stories).
