The dog runner

I think I'm coming up with a nice balance between taking care of Charlotte and being a tourist. And it certainly helps that Christin drops by every couple of days to take Charlotte for a run in the woods with her two dogs!

Here's some video Christin shot of their run.

Considering the size of Christin's dogs, Charlotte does a pretty good job keeping up!

And, boy, does she come home exhausted!

I'm sure Christin does too. Here's some video I shot of their arrival. How she manages to control all those dogs is beyond me!

Charlotte is napping in a cool corner now. I may slip off briefly to explore the Roman ruins just off the pedestrian zone.

Glen tells me that, in addition to housing a beautiful park and some wonderfully preserved Roman brickword, it also houses a "gentleman's club." A little yin to match the yang, I guess.

By the way, while Charlotte was away, I'm proud to say I bought my first loaf of bread at the bakery entirely with language. No pointing and grunting at all. I even knew how to ask for it sliced!

I'm sure I wasn't by any means mistaken for a native. But at least I'm making progress.
