... were fab...really nice day walking around. Jason decided to watch villa on the internet instead of going to local french soccer game. they lost 2-1, maybe its better if he doesn't watch as they seemed to do better the last few games when he wasn't watching. Had a really good dinner tonight, regional specialty (crepes again) with apple cider. <br><br>heading south again tomorrow, and we'll see how far we get and where we end up.

... 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 ...

... after tearing that apart we had some wonderful clips to work with. Sewing them together with some spare nylon cord made a great synch strap for the bag. <br><br>Our compression bags are also showing some wear. Brain is so good as compressing them as tight as possible that the material is beginning to rip. This is easily repaired with some more nylon chord as well. Hopefully this will last us for a little while longer!<br>

... grab the tram and jump on my train. I'm lucky because I overhear one of the conductors tell someone what gate or whatever my train's at so I get there before they announce to everyone else. So I'm the first one on the train, which is wonderful because I don't have to push my way through with all of my stuff. I get everything on and we eventually take off. I get to Paris 2 hours later and I'm pretty much the last one off the train because I again don't want to deal with people. I get my ...

... so he just put them all in a canon and shot them up into the air. He knew the people of Nantes would get them to their rightful owners. Then he made his way to the area where it was rumoured the other giant was headed. He found the area by following a huge geyser that had sprung out of nowhere. He waited there for the girl to arrive. And arrive she did. Coming as quickly as possible in her boat, she arrived only a few minutes after her uncle. Once they laid eyes on each ...

... could actually do something before she goes to Lille with her boyfriend, so we went to Rachel's and hung out there and then went dancing. It was really fun. May 21, 2009 So today there's no school. I got to sleep in late and now I'm really doing nothing. Just hanging out. It's a good relaxing day. It's also the first day without my meds for my back, so hopefully they fixed me and the pain won't come back again. I'm sure I'll let you know.

... and we watched some ANTM. After she left I kinda just planned for the week and went to bed. It was a slow day. I have a feeling after next week there are going to be a lot of slow days like that. Monday April 27th Well, France has decided that the rain needs to start now. We had a few weeks of nice weather but that's it. France can't be that nice for so long. It needs to spit on its people. So today was quite rainy and awful. My morning ...

2/5/09 School and home, nothing much to report. I passed out Valentines to my kids today and they went crazy. They don't do anything like that over here. Apparently you only give a present to someone you are in love with. Not like the US, where you give presents to all your friends. One kid in my bad class (who always asks about my romantic life in really creepy ways for anyone let alone a 9 year old) asks me if I'm in love with the class. I joke and say yes (it's obviously I do ...

... were saying. There were a lot of fun people there though. I met Lee from England I think, Ida from Ireland, Vanessa from Canada, Claire from Washington DC, Marty from Australia, and some others. I love Claire because she's the only other conservative person I've met in France. It was so funny when she found out I hate Obama. We became good friends fast and I actually ended up staying at her place. It was awesome to talk to someone who agrees with you. I figure we'll be talking a ...

... au FJT, on rencontre une gentille dame qui nous file les clés de nos chambres respectives (je suis seul, les filles sont ensemble). Le confort de celles-ci est somme toute, objectivement, moyen, mais après ces derniers jours, elles nous semblent de petites bulles paradisiaques. Puis, après un tour de l'endroit avec Thierry (l'animateur à Port-Beaulieu, un homme très sympathique), nous allons vite prendre le bus (toujours no. 26) pour se rendre ...
