Residhome Res De Bretagne Rennes

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 ...

... round of Affligate please!
Awoke early to freshly brewed coffee and cereal in bed - can't have eggs everyday! Kim convinced me to go for a run later today and not this morning - her reason she was hungry, but I think she was just being lazy :) Not 100% sure what lay ahead today as we had only planned as far as Vitre, which is said to revial Dinan in the mediavel town alure.

... opposite side was really muddy so it took some time. A reminder of how fast the prepared surface has been. Had lunch at the canal depot at St Sampson sur Rance; some historic buildings and a reminder about the scale of the canal. Some sections were dry but the country it ran through definitely undulated. Many of the small towns have some charm architecturally; the stone is fairly distinctive. The railway line follows part of the route; TGV's trundle by as the line is ...

... weekend, my group is headed to the Loire Valley and we will be seeing four castles Finals start Thursday and continue up until the 28th I'm hoping to go kayaking at least once on the canal, go to Quimper for some shopping and enjoy being in France for the next three weeks. I'm hoping that time goes fast enough that I'm not wishing the days away. If that makes any sense. I can't help but be excited to see my family and friends. My love to you all! I hope you had a great weekend! Take care. Jess

... m ready to study for them. As I've said before, all my language courses are, hopefully, going to prepare me for the Diplome test at the end of the year. I have thought about it off and on during the last few weeks and I think that it might turn out to be useful to have a way to register directly into a French university. Plus, it makes the classes a little more worth it. I will admit that I am a little bored in my language classes, except for my oral expression. In my ...

... a crêpe for lunch. I almost bought a galette (different than the cakes that the French eat for Carnaval) but I want to wait in case my family makes me some for dinner. I'm still excited to try them; the most popular is a sausage with mustard wrapped in the crêpe. A bit later, most of my group met up in front of the Marais to be shown where our classes are going to take place for the next two weeks. They are going to be the Franco-American Institute. It isn't very far from ...

... not have born country music or even folk-pop like Monsieur Fisher. It's obviously helping because I'm reminded of home & Canada, but not in a sad way. How can you be sad after a song like 'Scar That Never Heals'? I think the banjo is a happy instrument by nature. The more I think about it, the blues (which seem to be born out of lonliness, separation, distance etc) could not have started out here. All the space we have, especially in ...
