Residence Stud'Inn Nantes

... were fab...really nice day walking around. Jason decided to watch villa on the internet instead of going to local french soccer game. they lost 2-1, maybe its better if he doesn't watch as they seemed to do better the last few games when he wasn't watching. Had a really good dinner tonight, regional specialty (crepes again) with apple cider. <br><br>heading south again tomorrow, and we'll see how far we get and where we end up.

... about being locked in the toilet on the way into the room?)...<br><br>Mike, glad to see Chelsea are keeping you happy. I still think you'll be trophy-less come May 2010.<br><br>Gaz, thanks for the kind words.<br><br>Funny thing happened in Nantes tonight. I was enjoying a fruity crepe (no!! I said CREPE) in a local establishment with Jamie when a couple of heavy-set geezers marched past us. In fact they were so hard looking, they reminded me of a couple of sorts Gary ...

... We were both getting sick of the gravel, and we didn&#8217;t want to go into the city anyways. What a difference the pavement made! Went from cruising along at 15 km/hr to 25! A very nice change as Brian was quite discouraged at our progress along the canal. Thought that we would be traveling much further distances each day. <br><br> Arriving at Nort sur Erdre we encountered a problem I have been waiting for ...

... asleep early. <br><br>June 23, 2009<br><br>Again, Cas came to school with me. Pascale had told me the day before that there was going to be a fire drill instead of first hour so I thought I would be pretty bored for a while. Cas and I end up hanging out in the teacher's lounge for that and then one of the teacher's comes up to me and says my class needs supervision because they are being really noisy. They were all mad about me not being there. Ugh. What they don't realize is that they told ...

... 5, 2009<br><br>So this morning went horribly. I didn't really plan well for today and of course they are all distracted by my hair so we didn't get too much done. Oh well. The reason I'm posting a blog for a day and a half is because this weekend is the Royal de Luxe in Nantes, and I want to make a special post for it. So I'll probably add what I do tomorrow night on this post. Everything else will be centered around Royal de Luxe, so be ready, it's SO cool!

... with me, and that's basically all I've been doing all day. I've never drank so much water in one day. I probably had about 5 litres. That's a lot right? I did call Mom and chatted with her for a little bit. Then just watched The Tudors and chatted with Billy. Like usual. Oh well. I'm going to sleep early so I can get up early and make another doctor's appointment. May 11, 2009 I grab the bus and get to the doctor's office as soon as it opens and tell her that I saw Dr. Coutat ...

... today. Neither earned stars but whatever. Aidan (my little 1/2 American boy) is getting better and better. He's so funny. He moves so that he's sitting away from his friends so he won't get in trouble. I don't think that he realized how much I talk to his parents. Haha. After school I went to the CAF, which is the place that helps people out with their rent. I'd filled out the paperwork when I got here in September, but I had to wait on my green card to ...

First night sleeping on Cyrils couch and I wake up tired. I think it may have been all the walking yesterday and that I got up so early to leave when he goes to work. I leave his appartment just before 8.45am and since none of the museums or internet cafes are open I head to the train station to book some of my tickets. Even though I am quasi prepared most of the time I think that a bit more preparation wouldnt go astray. Mental note for forthcoming ...

... were fearful they may never get any cycling done in the allotted timescale. They were to hit the road early next day going in the direction I'd just come. Waved goodbye and we all staggered off to our respective tents.

Nearly washed away by the flooded Loire last night! Chenonceaux - beautiful even in the rain. Interesting history - during WW2 main part of chateau was in occupied territory & end of long gallery was in Allied area. Azay-le-Rideau - on an island in the flooded Indre River Chinon - ruins of the old castle tower over the town Could not go to Saumur as planned due to floods to headed towards Nantes Got stung by a stinging nettle!
