Andy,
The food and wine were flowing freely in France, so much so that I thought I would gain weight on the trip, but I didn't despite numerous snacks that included omelettes and real French fries. Of course there were also the huge buffet breakfasts each day and dinner spreads in the evenings.
I have about a hundred photos similar to the above but didn't want to tax the forum's patience. Our sheep experience was curious. After days of dodging sheep droppings on the road, we finally started running into flocks being driven on them. In a bizarre set of circumstances, we found ourselves one day uncomfortably surrounded by these creatures and were almost toppled amongst them as they continued moving forward oblivious to our presence. Those sheep were surprisingly nasty critters.
