... means lunchtime and everyone emerges! Every town has it’s own clock tower which regularly doles out the hours (and ¼, ½, and ¾ hours) of the day.

Today we stopped in a beautiful little park outside the clock tower for lunch and were lucky enough to be there for the noon time treat. Not just 12 bells, there was about 10 minutes of different songs and other tunes being played out. We sat and ...

... I didn't photograph all the things I cooked, but in some cases I needed to remember how we put the meal together on the plate so I tooks some pics to make it easier to replicate these dishes in future. Nerdy I know, but you will thank me if you come round for dinner one night and the food looks really pretty!

... guests not wishing to do the cookery school. Anway, David, who runs the cooking classes, picked me up from the train and as soon as we pulled in I knew it was going to be a lovely week! My accommodation was somewhat classier than the hostels Id been staying at (double bed, ensuite, crisp white linen, lost of cupboards and mirrors, just the way I liked it).

I started each day by sauntering down to the dining room where there was museli and beautiful stewed ...

... alignment of ancient menhirs that outdate the pyramids. I was not impressed, but found Carnac itself to be a great wee place. Plus the sun had started shining, which helped. We dined out for the first time, deciding to sample the local seafood, in the form of Moules-frites (mussels and chips) which was as delicious as it was messy.



Day 6: Carnac - Ile de Noirmoutier.
We actually toyed with the idea of staying in Carnac another night, but we ...

... a strange kind of glance, triggering Josée to pick up her bag and produce from it a gift. It was from all 4 of them. What was it, I hear you ask. That's exactly what I wondered myself, and so I opened it... It was perfume I had been drooling over for the past week: Maroussia. (click this link!) Mmmm-mmm. So stoked! Now I can actually smell amazing ^_^ The food was amazing too ...

... limit my spending) I will go then when I am pleine de monnie. Gee-whiz I'm slack. I've been here 2 weeks already. Okay, I think I'll go and get onto my reply to Suzi and then my homework. Hope you're all looking after yourselves! Gem xox p.s. There are some rather handsome gargoyles in this town. Might ask one out to lunch.

Caciiiiiiilda Becker, os ultimos dias foram taaaao freneticos que cade que tive tempo de escrever? Bordeaux foi fenomenal,um barato, e pra la de surpreendente: Meu CS deve ter nascido frances por erro da cegonha, pq ele parece mais brasileiro do que eu! Nao apenas conhece mais musica brasileira do que eu, como participa de uma escola de samba chamada Macunaima, em plena Bordeaux! Resultado: Fui a um desfile dessa escola de samba na festividade do dia do armisticio ...

... shops. It's been overcast and the wind has been hounding us all day - our cheap generic rain coats aren't really cutting it. We keep things in check during our group shopping adventures. I did find a beautiful turtle pendant from a jeweler that Diane recommended (she is a jewerly blood-hound). Finally, after the weather let up a bit I pull out my 'I'm really not a tourist ...

June 15
Brian was feeling better that morning. We had breakfast at the hotel and left for an island in the Atlantic. It was connected by the mainland by a bridge, so we just took the bus there. We went to the beach. The water was cold, but I swam anyways. I laid out on the beach to soak up the sun and look at the ...
