We left Ecouen at 2 pm, looking forward to a 550 km journey (310 Miles) which should have taken 5 1/2 hours. But soon after leaving, we got stuck in traffic. It took 1 1/2 hour to drive about 10 miles. There was heavy traffic for most of the journey, more traffic jams in Caen, and when we reached Brittany, it started raining heavily. We stopped in MacDonald’s in Lamballe for food and arrived home at 11pm, after a 9 hours journey. We were exhausted. The kids were great and very patient since they didn’t have proper food until we stopped in Lamballe.
I was grateful for God’s common grace which kept everyone from bad accident. It’s amazing the number of near miss you can see when the traffic is so dense.
