... of the counter had the best mullet I’ve seen for ages, and Rochelle lost the pool for us by missing the black!! On to the restaurant, which was also hosting a party for a 50-year old with huge … presents. No, really, they were huge!!

Wed 10 Jun – Cours-les-Barres to Farchat

Started the day by going through the enormous 9-metre double-lock (automatic, luckily), stopped for lunch in Plagny, where ...

... him! "Maybe you're carrying around makeup?" None of us actually thought about what would be in the bag before we went through it...The kid freaked out when the other counselor grabbed his bag and opened it. We found a pocket knife, about 5ish inches. Now, when the kids arrive at the beginning of the session, they're supposed to have their bags looked through anyways...which means this job wasn't properly done in the first place...but he could have hidden it in an ...

So I literally just updated my blog in 20 minutes...the last few entries weren't really that interesting to read, so I thought I'd compile my thoughts in one big entry... Life...It's very interesting. You try and juggle several things while working, and you end up just dropping everything on the ground! So another important life lesson I've learned is that you can't do everything by yourself; it's okay to ask for help from others. I ...

Somehow...i escorted 7 kids from Paris to Moulins without dying...haha, no, it was very simple! We had a few problems, nothing major though! When the train stopped, I literally had 3 minutes to throw 7 suitcases out of the train! That was fun...It's easier if a counselor does it, or else the kids will take forever to get their bags, and they might be stuck on the train going to the next city! At the trainstation I met up with my friend Gord, who's the assistant at ...

... try some sausages and cheese and possibly buy some. So I went up to one of the stands and asked in French about the sausages. After I asked my first question, the vendor said to me in English with a strong, British accent, "I believe that someone is British..." He was hinting that I was a British tourist, which he had not been the first to say so; everyone for some reason thought that I was from the UK rather than from south Florida USA ...

... very busy and didn't have time to show visitors around and allow them to taste some wines because it was September and the wine is harvested then, but she gave me a good recommendation of where to go...sadly I do not remember the name of the place but it is on a busy highway heading out of town in the direction of Dijon I believe! She also informed me of a castle that was close by that I could visit, but sadly I couldn't find it so I ended up just ...

... on the weekends, I decided to plan my trip to Beune the following Saturday. I bought my train tickets, which were cheap anyways because Beaune is only a 30 min. train ride away. So that afternoon I left for Beune. When I arrived in Beune it was around lunch time, so I decided to look for a restaurant. In this small square within the heart of centre ville, I found a nice little restaurant that was having lunch specials, and they had a deal for coq au vin ...

In the past two days, our path has been accentuated by serendipitous moments of beauty, surprise, warmth, and rejuvenation. Prior to this trip, I have been to Paris six times and feel fairly comfortable with the city. So one of the things I have looked forward to the most in the past few weeks of planning is heading outside of this city to explore the rest of France. My expectations have been met and even surpassed ...

This morning, we left Nice for Lyon. There wasn't much planned for this day as this was mostly just a stopover location before heading to Paris. Apparently, going straight to Paris from Nice is too much for everyone. Not much happened in Lyon except that I ran again. Yay - going above and beyond my mission. C'est tout

... the site has a new small swimming pool. They also do winetasting most nights, together with sales. Quaint little village with a couple of restaurants sellig local produce and specialities....fab stop over. The Beaujolais wine region is also nearby here. The village of Beaujeu has a good tourist office with a wine cellar below. Nearby ...
