The heat has settled in big time. We're getting about 36 degrees during the days, and no lower than 20 at night, so the temperature is slowly building up. Its not even cool in the mornings any more. Then there's all sorts of depressing reports about people dying of "hyperthermia", so all things considered, I'm pretty much at the end of the biking portion of this trip. I'm in Dijon, as I have been since yesterday, after a gruelling trip from Besançon. I stopped for most of the day in a nice country town, spending much time touring the church and visiting the nicely chilled grocery store. Today I again plan on visiting as many churches as possible, the malls, and possibly the movie theatre. I'm not exactly sure what I will do for the next couple of days, it depends on whether the heat gets worse, stays the same or gets better. I might take some day trips from here, or just stay here and enjoy the city, or head back to Paris in preparation for my flight to DK on Wednesday.
Besançon was nice, very nice setting, lots of services, and as the local press was lamenting, not that many tourist.
