Des Trois Marchands 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!

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.

Off to see the chateau this afternoon then maybe to a soccer game (Nantes vs. Nimes) this evening.

Chateau ...

... about being locked in the toilet on the way into the room?)...

Mike, glad to see Chelsea are keeping you happy. I still think you'll be trophy-less come May 2010.

Gaz, thanks for the kind words.

Funny thing happened in Nantes tonight. I was enjoying a fruity crepe (no!! I said CREPE) in a local establishment with Jamie when a couple of heavy-set geezers marched past us. In fact they were so hard looking, they reminded me of a couple of sorts Gary ...

... We were both getting sick of the gravel, and we didn’t want to go into the city anyways. What a difference the pavement made! Went from cruising along at 15 km/hr to 25! A very nice change as Brian was quite discouraged at our progress along the canal. Thought that we would be traveling much further distances each day.

Arriving at Nort sur Erdre we encountered a problem I have been waiting for ...

... inform me that I have to send it in somewhere. I don't have the money for that nor do I care if I get my deposit back so I just throw it away. Then I head back to my apartment and make sure everything is clean and I'm all packed up. I wait around until 4:30, then I head to the office to meet Thierry, who is the guy in charge of me I guess. He comes up with me to the room and looks it over and says everything is wonderful and I should expect to get my full security deposit back. I'm ...

... America. She boarded the Titanic early one morning in 1912. We all know the tragic story of this ocean liner, and yes, the mother went down with the ship. Years later, the brother of this giant was diving (that is his profession) and found the wreckage of the Titanic, along with the body of his sister. Deeply saddened by his loss, he took her body back to the little island and had her properly buried. He'd been searching the seas for his sister and his niece for almost 100 ...

... t kick them out, if they do anything I don't like I'll take away their yellow notebooks. The plan didn't work very well but I tried. I didn't take as many books away as I should've. After school I went to the store and got groceries. Dad had put money in my account to buy tickets to Nantes and there was a little bit left over, so Dad, thanks for the food. :) Then I did some laundry. It was a pretty exciting day. May 20th, 2009 I had ...

... with, but because of all the tram construction nothing looks familiar to me, it's kind of sad. We meet up with Lydia, Dan, Jane, and a few others and go to a market and then the girls go off to get coffee while the boys go to play basketball. I was a lot sadder about leaving Dan than I thought I would be. Weird huh? I guess spending 2 weeks 24/7 with someone really brings you close to them. Seriously the tears started coming. I don't ...

... year they said we shouldn't do at all) and that I should teach them songs and stuff. I would love to do the song thing, but it's kind of hard when they don't have one working stereo in the school. I hate bringing my laptop in so I'm not doing it anymore. It's not my fault that they don't have any kind of technology in that school. If they had a TV or CD player or computer or anything like that I would be able to do so much with the kids, that would be fun for me and them. But no ...

... is SO much of Angers that I never saw when I lived there. Basically I saw my school, my foyer, Becka's foyer, centre ville, and the Cointreau factory. I didn't want or need to see much else I guess. At the library we finished planning for our trip to Italy and Malta. We booked our hostels and stuff like that. Whew is it expensive. Plus in Venice we are literally in a campsite because that was only thing we could find for less than 40 euro a night. So that will be pretty ...

... autour de nous, mais on ne le sent pas. On se lève le matin pour prendre le bus et aller travailler dans ce qui pourrait être CKAJ à Jonquière (NDA : CKAJ est une station de radio communautaire, située dans des locaux adjacents à ceux du Cégep). Tous nos efforts, nos sacrifices semblent lentement sombrer dans l'inutilité. Pas une très bonne journée, malgré quelques beaux moments.
