tulip fields in Holland 2006

this year we did our cycling earlier in the season,
and the tulips were not fully out |

They make fine ceramics at this old monastery surrounded
by tulip and hyacinth fields. The sea is only 4 miles away and the
dunes are divine for cycling. Water. alas, was only 12 degrees, so
we did not swim this time. |

in the garden of the Hostelllerie de la Tour d'Auxois
in Saulieu, next to the swimming pool, in front of the Restaurant
Bernard Loiseau, where we had a succulent 5-course dinner. Drank a
Faiveley Chardonnay, Clos Rochette, Nuit St. Georges |

On the fifth course of my birthday dinner at Bernard
Loiseau in Saulieu, tying my fifth bow tie (one per course)
We drank a spectacular Vosne Romanée |

Just before the ritual birthday swim - I am wearing
an Ecuadorian sweater because the air was rather cool |

Ritual birthday swim in lac de Cahmnboux, just south
