Day 3

I know it will sound funny to those back home, but this is hard work. I've been through two lines completely now and am refining my method. There are a number of stops that I don't need to see, as I've explored them thoroughly in the past. I've also found that it sometimes is quicker to take a bus from location to location.

I've found some pretty interesting places, but one of my favorites was at the end of line 1. Chateau Vincennes--and the town of Vincennes--were unexpectedly fun and quaint. The town is just outside of Paris, on the edge of the Bois Vincenees, a huge wooded park. At the top of the blog is the Chateau, and here's the chapel:
