Today was a maintenance day for François. We needed to have the oil and filter changed, so we asked for some references from the storage yard and were directed to a local garage. The people there were very nice. The work was done quickly. We spent the time talking to the owners wife who is a nurse, and a customer who is a security guard at the US Embassy in the Hague. The time passed quickly.

When I found out they didn’t take credit cards I had to find an ATM nearby. When I told them I was going to walk to the ATM which was about a kilometer away, the security guard insisted on driving us. In addition to getting some cash, we found the location of two more grocery stores close to where we store François. So thanks to everyone who helped us today.

We arrived back at the campground around noon and just as we settled in it started raining pretty hard so we decided that was a sign that we should just relax and try to get over the jet lag for the rest of the day. Tomorrow we will be off towards Bastogne in Belgium.

The mouse was quiet last night, but he did not end up in any of the mouse traps so we assume he is still with us.
