Orlèans Day 1
So a couple of sleeping pills and flicks on flights really did not help our 18-hour international travel much. But nonetheless, as soon as we set our feet on the ground, the sight of Orléans and its cool breeze filled us with excitement and anticipation of good times.
It is mostly cloudy in high 50s here in Orléans. Not too dry.
Just about perfect for exploring the town by foot, although it started raining a little by night.
Pretty much everything about Orléans is excellent.
Food, fashion, structures, scenery, and surprisingly friendly, well-mannered people. Even the guy on a motorcycle vacuuming dog dung in a backstreet looks stylish.
I wonder what all that is about French...
But for now, oh we ought to recover from a jet lag first because we got to feed the world what it wants tomorrow: an American jazz.
Please cross some fingers for us that we will wake up good and sound (and on time) tomorrow morning.
