Yeah we are. It's fine. We're used to at this point. I feel a little shame most of the time in my general day-to-day life and activities

but a certain about this quiet almost campsite-esque restaurant where we are

interrupting normal French holidaymakers and

their quiet evenings.

Makes me feel a little on edge.

Yeah, they're here at a lakeside for a holiday.

They've got a live podcast recording. Gratus.

Weirdly we're about five kilometers from the Grand

Columbia.

Yeah, I would guess that most of these holiday makers had no idea the tour even passed through this area today.
