Duck Down.... A bridge is ahead!! It is surprising but true. The bridges on the Rhone River are low, at least when the water is high, so several things must happen to the top floor on our boat. The wheel house lowers down to below the level of the railings. The plastic shelters on both side of the wheel house are lowered flat on the floor and finally the shade roofs are removed. Depending on the height of the bridge, people standing must sit or lie down on the floor, below the level of the railing. I could touch some of bridges as we passed. The Rhone has 35 bridges on this trip, at least 10 so old that we must duck. Interesting but true.
Boucieu-le-Roi is a charming town, a true medieval village. The whole town came up to welcome us, including the men's choir. The old houses are in perfect condition as are the roads. Everything is as it was in the middle ages. It was a perfect gem of a town, right at the top of the mountain.
The sun is shining. The boat is driving us to Viviers, another once thriving medieval village. All is well in our world.
