Mercure Rennes Colombier 3m

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.

Last night aymericks aymericks aunties and uncles came to the cottage with ANOTHER of ayms many cousins (i'm sure he has a factory where they make them), for his grans 85th birthday. Was a good night. But as much as i'm starting to feel at home here, i cant help feeling i want to move on. The excitement of being on the road and ...

... we counted only 4 people on our walk) I popped into a creperie to try the local buckwheat crepe. I ordered one with the lot - egg, ham and cheese. Not bad but doesn't match up to anything I have had at Manison du Scooby of late. Last stop in Vitre McWifi to upload our blog!

... 19th century viaduct spanning high above the port. It was beer o'clock so we found the old towns bar street and settled ourselves down on one of the outside tables. We tried two local beers a Picon and Affligate. Picon a dark beer but tasting like it contained lemonade (hmmm not sure about that one) and Affligate which was like a blonde Leffe - this was a good choice ...

I went to a horse show today. It was lots of fun. Instead of putting me on the horse I'd ridden before, they put me on a horse I'd never ridden before. Luckily we had a few practice jumps beforehand. Of course my horse refused to do very fast unless I smacked her with the crop every time we headed to a jump, she was dead to my ...

... buy food for dinner. We had planned on making dinner at my house but my host sisters were home and we didn't want to disturb then, so we made it at Michelle's instead. We had a huge fruit salad, chicken and pasta. It was really good and it was a lot of fun just hanging out in a house. It was almost like our lives were normal and that we weren't imposing on anyone for being there. Two of my friends headed home and then us Saint Gregoire kids stayed and watched "Les Incroyables" aka ...

... have preferred for it to have been spread out. The other thing that I've realized is that I have been in France for two months! Where has the time gone? It is seriously a bittersweet moment. I don't want to leave but then, I'm excited to get home and just be. This is hard to explain but I will try in my next blog. Off to midterms, Easter, a good friend, lots of chocolate! Until next time. My love goes out to you all and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter. Christ has risen.

... in line at the grocery store, eating a different breakfast or public transportation. I have not once thought things like "I hate it here" or "I want to go home." I foresee some potential frustration with the way classes are run but after a few days, I know that I will adjust to the French system. Like I had to do in Norway. No place outside of the US functions the same and we have to really be mindful of the differences. I was going to write a post about the differences I've ...

... on aurait aussi bien pu ne pas faire, dont on perçoit bien qu'elles nous affaiblissent, et des actes qui ne sont irréversibles que pour ceux qui les portent, ne mettant en péril qu'eux et faisant fond sur un indépassable désespoir (particulièrement quant au fait que de tels actes soient repris par d'autres), cette disjonction vient toucher alors la colère même, qu'on est plus bien sûr d'éprouver" Amours.
