Hotel des Lices Rennes

I went just one day to Rennes. I thought it was really pretty since all of the houses are made of
rough stones, des maisons bretonnes typiques. Aussi, les maisons sont faites
toutes un peu croches, ca donne un petit style que j'aimais bien.



Et oui effectivement, il fait beau plusieurs fois par jour. It does rain a LOT.
There is mainly what is in every french city, bars, restaurants and shoe shops!

Been chopping some wood for the fire for the last 2 days with ayms cousins and family. 1 of ayms cousins has an old merc he doesnt need, so he has told us we can have it.
Its gonna cost qbout 400 euros to get in insured, mot and on the road, but im hoping rose and mickou will come and split the costs with us.
Petrol to tunisia through spain and africa will cost about 300 euros so its not too bad, hoping to get work in south of france next week to fund it.

... a new town or city is far more compelling than grannies lovely soup. The plan is to move on in the next few days, possibly meeting up with my friends Rose and Mickou (sp) if we can get work along the way.

So gonna sign off for now, hopefully find some work on the internet and the next post will be from spain. Adios amigo!

Unfortunately the fairy tale turretts and cobble streets failed to live up to expectation and seemed to lack any ambiance. This was probably not helped by us arriving at lunchtime when but everything was shut - French siesta time. After wandering around the deserted streets ...

Famed as one of the best preserved medieval towns in France or so says the Lonely Planet, the old town seemed like it had been swallowed by the new. We had our first crepe and enjoyed it as we wandered through the old cobbled stone streets which became more and more rewarding. We stumbled upon the local young un's hang out which was the city walls. The views looked down onto ...

We went to a crêperie today for lunch. It was very good. I had a galette with ham and an egg. After the main course we had desert. My desert was a crêpe with chocolate and banana inside it. I wish we had these in Canada. They are very good. After lunch I walked around town before going home. I love the fact I can walk through town if I fell like it. To be picked up for my riding lesson I had to take the subway. It was lots ...

... because of my papers, I said no. Sunday, however, was a good day. We ate outside and talked. I talked. We talked about their trip, the weather (I have never talked about the weather so much as I do in France) and a few other things. I felt a little more confidant than usual...maybe because I just felt like talking and because the sun was out. It made me kind of sad to think that in less than a month, I'd be at home. But I am glad that I will be leaving France in a good state. I'm ...

... that its roots aren´t too different from mine. My values and way of thinking come from my family roots and my host family, they have theirs and both of ours have similarities. It´s awesome to see this, experience it and live in it. I don´t know what direction I´m going in now. I think I´ve reached a stopping point in my rambling. If that is possible. Here is what I have coming up in the next two weeks: 1. At least two more midterms (one in class, one at-home) 2. The ...

Greetings from a blustery Sunday in Rennes! Thus is life in Rennes. We have absolutely beautiful days and then the wind comes and it is cold. Does this not remind you of Washington weather? I feel right at home with what I've experienced in Rennes even though it is, at times, much colder than I expect. I am taking in the chance to relax, listen to music and reflect on what has happened so far in Rennes. Not to worry, I won't explain all my thoughts. So, here I am, my second ...
