...in Agen, safe and sound. Though possibly for a shorter time than I'd hoped. There is a whole lot of political jive going on right now in France; there is a law in the works that raises the age of retirement by two years. Some people aren't very happy about that, so the train workers are going on strike on Tuesday, leaving me with the option of leaving almost immediately or being stranded in Agen for who knows how long.
Not that that's a bad thing, but I do have other places to see. Agen is fun to explore, and it's a treat to spend some time with Kim and Jacqueline. It sucks that I have to cut my time short, but I'm sure I will enjoy my early foray to Britain.
So, besides all this scheduling hoohah, I just spent a great week in Quimper with Melina and Kel. I hardly had time to take it all in, I saw so much. Castles, churches, beaches, forests, ruins, everything. My favourite was the ruins of a Breton chapel, St. Languidou. And of course galettes with Melina's in-laws. Galettes are like a huge crepe made with a special kind of flour...'delicious' is all I have to say about that.
I packed for winter, unfortunately, and so far then weather in Agen has been in the high 20's. I've got way too many sweaters for my own good right now. Hopefully things chill out in Stockholm...
Testing one two three
ReplyDeleteWheee... I am on the Interwebnetthingy on my daughter's blog! How exciting! Hello sweetie, can you hear me? Are you there? Can you tell I have not blogged before?
ReplyDeleteI miss you but I am glad you are in good hands. Sorry to hear about the trains but I guess a trip to France is just complete without at least one strike.
See you soon. Keep having fun!
