... of the cones, as the Michelin guidebook said the view was best at sunset. All around we could see smaller volcanoes, some with craters and some dome-shaped, all now covered in trees, silhouetted by the setting sun. An extra show was provided by half a dozen paragliders hurling themselves off the summit then hovering on the updrafts - a surreal ...

... opportunity to make our lunch which usually consisted of a baguette filled with pate, cheese and or meat. We would stop along the way some where for lunch in a park or a Chateau. The cruising along the canals was incredible especially going through the locks. One part took us over one of the longest viaduct in Europe at a place called Briare where we stayed for the night. The first couple of days was heavy going but my knees and legs settled down that ...

... for camping. The town was beautiful and the road to the camp site took us up steep hills with ever changing views, but eventually we were too far out and too high up (it was windy and cold), so we gave up the hunt. Returning down the mountain we continued through Ambert and finally settled on Municipal Camping Le Metz at Arlanc. The site is less manicured than the previous night, but the facilities in the main block are ...

... man, who later blunders badly, betrays his country, and goes down in history as a traitor. Since I only get to visit people in their homes once a year and even then not everyone, we really enjoy these moments. We had a leisurely lunch and talked about all sorts of things: the Feast of Tabernacles, the upcoming American presidential elections, the beautiful new Italian wife of French President Sarkozy, several Bible prophecies (not about Mrs ...

On Le Weekend we met a group of the French kids and clearly they fell in love with us. So shortly after that weekend they wanted to party with us again as soon as they could. And did we ever. Quentin had a number of us over to get to know us a little better. A couple 40s later we were much better acquainted. It was the start of a beautiful friendship.

... this club is crazy. On a busy night over 3500 people go. It's all euro-techno music, crazy lights, intense security, like when you pull into the parking lot, they have huge German Shepard dog's wearing mussels and giant guys holding onto them. Oh, and one more thing, it doesn't open until 1 am and closes at 5am It's about 12 euro's to enter, and drinks cost about 8 Eur but it is so much fun! Really, I wasn't a big fan of techno music before I came here, but I have come to ...

So, on September 1 we headed to the Gare de Lyon and made our way down to Vichy. Its about 3 hours by regular train south to Vichy. When I got the station a girl from my school met me and took me right to my dorm. I was super nervous about this. I really wanted something nice to live in, and thankfully my dorm is perfect for me. It was super clean, had a shower, with pressure, toilet, and kitchenette ...

... festival passes and other stuff like food vouchers and cash for the train (75 Euros-nice). Met Calmin. So nice to see him again. Then we went to eat at Universe with Jon. Nice to have a warm cooked meal again. Em really liked the food coupons- 6.50 Euros each and we have 32 for the week. That's a total value of 208 Euros/S$415 that we can save on eating. Hurray. Then we took the free shuttle back to the Hotel. Slept like a log till 3am for me and I am writing this. What a long 2 days.

Mida lähemale linnale, seda vichysemaks ja vesiseks ka ilm kiskus. Seetõttu polnud me seal väga entusiastlikud turistid ja käisime vaid tiiru linnas ning maitsesime kraanidest vett. Tegemist oli sooja ja väga ebameeldiva maitselise veega. Seega 0,3 &#8364; topsi ostmine vee degusteerimiseks oli üsna mõttetu. Vichy külastamist jääb meile meenutama karp pastille.
