Saint Guilhem is next to the Gorge de Herault, where the Herault river slowly winds its way to the sea. You can rent canoes and even lose your glasses in the river. Especially if you are like me and too cheap to spend $1.50 for the security cord. That they tried to sell to me. Twice.
We went with the early group (early being a very civilized 10:30am) and surprisingly found ourselves the only ones on the river. I did all the paddling and steering, an improvement over our last canoe trip where we each tried to steer and ended up flipping the canoe. Or the other canoe trip where we somehow got lost on a river with no entries or exits. I think we ended up in a storm drain.
Many of you have commented on my stylish bike outfits, though not always in complementary terms (you know who you are). Well, wait until you get a load of my canoeing outfit, complete with flotation device! I expect to be on the cover of GQ any day now.
