Champagne Toast

It occurred to me that a week ago I mentioned our goal to attend church in Le Havre while were docked in Honfleur. I neglected to say how our adventure turned out. Sunday morning we left the ship with 100 and our Googlemaps printout. We told a cabbie waiting at the pier where we wanted to go, and he said it would be 60 for the round trip. But he assumed we only wanted to take a photo or two of the church and turn around. When we told him we wanted to attend a worship service, he said it would be 80. The price was high, but we talked it over and agreed to pay. Then suddenly it jumped to 120. That’s nearly $180 just to get to church and back! We politely declined. Then we spent the rest of the morning exploring Honfleur instead.
