Appart'City Cap Affaires Chateau des Ducs Nantes

So decided to stay a second day in Nantes....hotel was in fab location, but loads of bars right outside the hotel, thank goodness for double glazed windows!<br><br>Went to the local saturday market this morning, geez, i love the french markets. took us about 20 mins walking around just to figure out what to eat. <br><br>Off to see the chateau this afternoon then maybe to a soccer game (Nantes vs. Nimes) this evening.<br><br>Chateau ...

... that is my other half (ie Jamie), and never been keen to raise my head above the proverbial parapet. But for the historic reason of the jasonandjamie blog (or is it named the other way around?), I think I need to make an exception. There are of course, a couple more reasons for this...<br>1. Jamie can't spell.<br>2. I don't want a one sided blog...<br>3. **** stories have got to be curtailed..<br>4. Jamie is getting too verbose about our trip (I mean, who wants to ...

... closing for the season. Fortunately on our way to the campground we say a riverside park area that allowed &#8216;camping cars&#8217; to spend the night - and it was packed! Deciding that if campervans could camp then so could we (not that we had any other choice). Camped out at a picnic table we awaited dusk to pitch the tent. I knew it would be hard to beat last night&#8217;s dream campsite!<br><br>In the meantime ...

... then went to Carrefour for a bit until we had to meet Maury at the later train. We met with her and were going to head back to mine but then I revealed that there were wolves at the chateau so we headed there and watched them for about an hour. It was actually kind of entertaining. Then we went to my favorite creperie (Dad and Kay get ready, I'm planning on taking you to the same one). After that hung out at mine then met Josh at the Karaoke bar. It was ...

... class. I ran upstairs and asked one of the teachers about it and she said that I would have my first class like normal and then let them out for recess and then give the other class the worksheet. I had NOTHING prepared for this class except for the worksheet. Why do they not tell me anything? So I make some stuff up and have them do the worksheet with me. Then, I let them out at the usual recess time and they all came back to me saying it was going to start 10 minutes later. I had ...

... too nice to throw away so I took it. For example, Lauren at the beginning of the year, had painted these three paintings of the Eiffel Tower and she was going to throw them all away. They are really good. No way are those going in the trash. They are going up in my future house. I also got some books and a scarf and a Minnie Mouse glass that Lauren got at Euro Disney. She was going to throw away a souvenir. Wow. So I got tons of stuff. After we ...

... to try and celebrate Mardi Gras even though none of us have any money. It was really boring. We went out for a drink but nothing was going on, so we went home early. I guess it's more of a New Orleans thing than a France thing. Hmm. 2/25/09 I babysat today and everything was fine. I didn't run into any doors, although the smudge from my face is still on the door. I've discovered how awful of a cook I am. I was supposed to make omelets for the kids and I totally messed up. I don't ...

... said to all the teachers was that I could understand and speak French. Apparently the last assistant they had, Janet, did not know one word of French and it was a really hard time for everyone. We planned a time for me to visit and I'm going Thursday morning. Then I guess I'm eating lunch in their cafeteria with some other teachers. I'm sure that's going to be horribly uncomfortable, but we'll see. The next school we went to was also one of mine. It was called Chateaubriand ...

... it has not changed, just some nice and positive evolution. Good, innit? ;-)<br><br>So that's it. H-8 before setting off home. Gluuup!!!<br><br>Tomorrow, we're heading to Amsterdam with my mates. Well, I know, that's the perfect and most common way to Asia. One shall wait and see.<br><br>See ya.<br><br>Enclosed some pics of Nantes, departure and destination place, inspiration source as well.

... signe que la motivation revient, même chez notre chère Ariane, qui reprend du poil de la bête. Nous avons l'intention de quitter Nantes pour Rennes afin d'aller voir nos chers Pierre-Luc et Mélodie, en prévision de visiter, dans le nord, les patelins de Saint-Michel (et son mont) et de Saint-Malo. Les filles travaillent d'arrache-pied tout l'après-midi pour nous trouver du co-voiturage, chose réglée vers les 15 heures. Une ...
