Beaune

Today we took a day off from touring historic France and spent the day in a small city called Beaune. It is so beautiful here with so many old buildings. It is mostly residential so this morning, they had a market set up in the town square. They had everything there from produce to meats to handtowels. We actually bought two tablecloths that we are hoping will work for our table in College Park but since we did not know the measurements in centimeters were are not 100 percent sure. We then proceeded to get lost on the way back to the hotel but after some roaming we found our way back. We decided that today was going to be laundry day, so we found a laundry mat and set to work trying to decifer the instructions and amounts it would cost. We ended up having to go searching for soap because we could not figure out how to get the soap that was there to come out. In hindsight, it was actually rather simple but instead we bought some at the local grocery store. After we finished the laundry, Mom and Kelly rested in the hotel while Dad and Morgan used the computer and read more about Paris. After a while, we went to dinner where Kelly and Morgan tried the famous Boeuf Bourguignon which is actually just beef stew. So dinner was really good. Now, we are back at our hotel getting ready for our drive to Paris tomorrow.
