Fontanone - Aleria, 55 miles











The water rose about 3 feet overnight!  A man showed up in the morning.  I thought he was upset with us for sleeping on his property but Chris translated his french.  Apparently he was only concerned about us being swept away in the deluge!

We rode to the inland town of Corte, where it started raining again for a little while.  Christopher got charged 2 euros by a jerk at a cafe just for using the bathroom.  Oh yeah, that makes 5 days of rain so far.  My senses tell me that this is going to change very soon!

Parts of our ride today reminded me of Jurassic Park.

Tonight we set up our tent on the beach in Aleria.  There was a little cabana with a deck going over the water.  It was really beautiful.  We're lucky it's off season or we wouldn't have been able to stay there.  

We made friends with the beach cats, even though they didn't like any of our food they kept asking us for some.
