On the "last day" of my solo 6 week tour through France I got stung in neck by a bee. Due to the grace of God and some nice folks at a country gas station including a doctor who happened to be getting gas for his lawnmower as well as a kind staff at the hospital, I didn't die after discovering my bee sting allergy. It's an incredible story that's too long to post here. But, in many ways it was the highlight of the tour!
