Today I took my first jog in France. Gorgeous bike path that lead to a park with 2 ponds, all sorts of wildlife, and a few kids avec parents. Great weather. Slightly cloudy with a nice breeze. Perfect for running if you ask me. Came back and had coffee and chatted about Obama with Doc. He LOVES Obama. Called him a phenomina... not just a man. Had many ideas about where America is headed and has no doubt that our country will rise to greater heights than before our highest before this decline.
We went to La Plage de St. Jean du Monts today. Beautiful beach town. Chatted about how Challans was one of the last areas in France to stay loyal to the crown during the revolution. Speaking of revolution... Bastille Day is July 14th and we're headed in to Paris to celebrate. It's supposed to get crazy.. so watch out for that blog.
Tonight I learned how to make mussels... they were amazing. I meant to take a picture but forgot. (typ) Anyways... we went to the groccery and it was quite the shock. No oatmeal? Everything... I mean everything is french (obviously). Sarah and I tried to buy milk this morning and found out once we got home that it was liquid yogurt (fermented milk). Not quite what we thought we had poured on our cereal.
So, great day at the beach. Great dinner. Lina is planning to study the defense mechanisms of cockroaches. Well... we think she should.
bonsoir-
