Citea 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 ...

... then you can continue into the bedroom. there is a door to the bedroom from the bathroom, but it only seems to open from the bedroom, so i needed jason to let me out after using the toilet. <br><br>Jason is now having a rest as it was over 3 hours of driving today, but i think i can tempt him to get up with the idea of happy hour.....<br><br>Ok, so I haven't been saying much but as you're all aware, I'm a man of few words. I've always been happy to hide behind the ...

Awoke to a world of misty-grey fog. Couldn&#8217;t even see the opposite bank it was so thick! Sitting in the peace you can hear birds you cannot see and the occasional plop&#8217; of an acorn makes the cool water ripple at your feet. <br><br>Didn&#8217;t get a very early start this morning as there was so much to do! 1) listen for fish jumping 2) photograph crystal spider webs 3) watch a heron hunt off the end of the ...

June 27, 2009<br><br>Because Steph and I are really the only assistants left in this town, we've been together nonstop. We have coffee, shop, whatever. It doesn't help that the soldes (the national sales that only come around twice a year) are going on now. We want to buy everything but really have little money. We really don't do much today except try to enjoy our last weekend here.<br><br>June 28, 2009<br><br>Steph and I get up and head to the big market one last time. We get wine ...

... do any of that because they get too loud. So we ended up playing bingo the whole time. It was pretty fun. Now I should probably explain the title. Today the whole day whenever Julien would see me he would say HELLO BABY! haha Anytime he said something to me he would add 'baby' at the end. I don't know if he really knows what it means. He knows I laugh everytime he says it so he keeps using it. It's too funny. Tomorrow Lee gets here and we're going to karaoke so that should be fun. :)

... awkard. I grabbed all my favorites. While playing, of course, one of my kids hit the ball on the roof. Typical. Then we got rained out. Oh well. In the afternoon Eugenie came to visit my classes and help out and it was craziness. They kids surrounded her and would not shut up and it was really overwhelming. Like she was a movie star or something. The first class played baseball and we had my team against Eugenie's team. It was fun. No ...

... to Carrefour to get groceries. I got like 70 euro worth of stuff (I stocked up for the whole month of May) and had to lug it all home. I'm such a fatty and everytime I go to Carrefour I get chocolate eclairs. I can't pass them up. So when I got back to my place and unpacked I ate my wonderful eclairs and now feel like I'm going to throw up. haha Serves me right. I'm not sure what I'll do tonight, but judging by how I feel right now (exhausted) I think I may just head to bed early.

... my kids. They were by far the best ones. Then the next class came in. And Frederique shows up to observe. I had no idea she was coming. But whatever. I teach the class like I usually do and they are awful of course (they are the only class at that school who hasn't gotten to play a game) but really they weren't as bad as they have been in the past. Plus I had all kinds of visuals and stuff just like Frederique told me to get the last time she observed me. So we talk afterwards ...

... no luck at all. It turned out there was a band playing in centre ville so we went to check it out. I have no idea what the celebration was for, but there were a lot of farm animals John freaked out saying he'd never seen a pig in real life before. Wow. So we walked around looking at horses and cows and stuff and then went to a German bar after giving up on the karaoke. Lauren met us there and got a little lost so I had to run out and help her, so I got a little lost too. It was ...

... nous pèse de plus en plus. Vers 14 heures 15, Sarah a des maux de ventre qui, joints à notre démotivation exacerbée, provoque notre départ précoce. Le soir, encore brainstorming, et discussions sur le sujet du stage, qui décidément nous ronge notre énergie. Je fais un premier lavage (je jubile, enfin un semblant de choix vestimentaire...), et après, je vais à la chambre des filles ...
