Mercure Rennes Pre-Botte Cen

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 ...

... 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 ...

... Before I went into the ring Anna told me that they don't care how badly you do you still get to finish the course. So unlike a real show if you fall off or have a great many refusals, you are not eliminated you keep going. I went into the ring thinking I was going to knock down every jump because my horse wouldn't go ...

... Incredibles. We couldn't move after all the food we ate, so it was good to just sit. I went on a 2 hour bike ride with Michelle Sunday morning. We rode our bikes up to Betton, saw the marché and headed back. Sophia met up with us and we ate leftovers for lunch. It was around 80 degrees on Sunday. We were quite warm and got tired fast. We went back to my house and watched Disney movies in French. The girls headed home and I called my mom to wish her a happy mother's day. It turned ...

I've decided that it is hard to come up with titles for my blogs. Sometimes I'm pretty inspired, but lately, oh man. I don't even know where to begin. I could just write about my last week and that it brought around the end of my first month in France. It was probably the fastest week I've had since my arrival and a large part of that is probably due to the fact that I am currently on winter vacation. Yes, France is a country of lots of vacation. My host sisters both ...

... between the US and Europe based on my experiences so far. We had a really interesting meeting on Friday and watched parts of Bowling for Columbine. It was more to demonstrate when and if, you felt proud to be part of the US and where you were embarrassed to have this film represent a view of your country. It was something to think about. I had a lot in my mind to say and I might wait until I gather a little more insight before I write about it. I think that is all for now ...
