Full circle

We woke up in our bnb, and lay around until 8:30. The night before was filled with fireworks because apparently France didn't have enough revolutions yet. It was a rather short night for us except for Lyle who somehow managed to sleep through everything. We then went down to breakfast with our really chatty Russian host who immediately started talking about politics. 
When we finally escaped from the table, we started biking. Today was a very intense day of biking, with airplanes taking off nearby and a wedding procession and trucks and traffic. We eventually met up with our lollipop at this roundabout. We had come full circle!
We saw these really cool train-metro things that were running on grass in the city, and we stopped at a small market.
Then we made it to the large hill which we noted on our way out. It was painfully tall and annoying because it just KEPT GOING....... we made it to our place, and lay around while my parents went down to pack up the bikes. Our final milage was 654.72, which meant that I won for the guessing. My guess was 651 in the case that there were multiple "route barrĂ©es."
We are all tired and glad to be resting in a small apartment. Later when it gets dark we are going to walk to a nearby viewpoint to see the Eiffel Tower at night.
