It is Sunday night, the weekend activities are over, and now to reminisce about our wanderings. We went south to the frontiers of Germany, France, and Switzerland where the foothills of the Alps come up to make a continuum of forested hills, valleys, and streams with native trout waiting to be caught. A little excitement stirred the afternoon when we couldn't find the hotel attendant; so we took Lotti to her camping spot (Yes, she really likes to camp) then returned to the hotel to find it still missing an attendant. After a half hour or so he finally showed up and reported that he had no reservation for us. After a few phone calls and challenging communication - he spoke no English - we finally got it resolved, parked our gear and went wandering about the town and it's surrounds. The next morn we left the hotel (The hotel was in Boncourt,  the camp site in Courgenay) and immediately got lost, nav systems are not without flaws, and finally arrived 20 minutes late. Lotti had planned an entire day of hiking along the river Doubs, a lovely trail running along the stream, surrounded by a deciduous, forest, with an occasional visit of old stuff. It was a down and back hike with the back on the other side of the river. Of interest was the 100 or so ropes stretched across the river with long colored plastic tubes hanging from them. It was a world class slalom where competitors from all over the world tested their kayak handling skills against the relentless current of the Doubs. After a dinner in Porrentruy we dropped Lottie off and returned to our cute French Country hide away. Today we went to the "Lake District" just inside France and wandered the lakes and their surrounds. The lakes were small with no drainage so they were brown, but many filled with birds, and frogs, and salamanders. Lotti discovered a gold legless salamander  on the dirt road. It looked just like a 6 inch snake. We wandered fearlessly without regard for our return trip, relying only on our superior navigational skills, and as luck would have it, we found the car just where we left it. Then, after driving about the country side going through numerous cute little towns on twisty curvy roads we found the expressway, and enjoyed a smooth straight ride home.
