Today was the best day I have had since I left - except for maybe the last day of orientation.
We traveled to Normandie today to Honflour. It was a trip in itself. Colette got lost again and was flipping out as usual. Then she decided to beat the system and she went on the highway the wrong way. I was praying big time that she would figure out what she was doing before we became dead meat. All the cars were flashing their lights and she finally realized what she had done.
I found out she has a soft spot for more than just animals - she always picks up hitch-hikers. Today we picked up two. They were a little hesitant about getting in because we had the funeral car and you can't see until you are in!
Honflour is great! I love it. It is so beautiful. It is a very old town and we are right by the harbor. There are ships everywhere. The little village has lots of shops, cafes, museums and churches. I would love to stay here!
Her friend is very nice. We walked around for about 2.5 hours through the town and then we had drinks in one of the cafes and dinner in this cute little restaurant. It was crepes. I had apple and eggs/gambon - very good! For dessert I had mysterie chantilly - It is the greatest ice cream dish w/whip top! I could eat it forever!
It seems as though all Colette's friends are single. Either divorced/died/bachelor. Interesting.
No windows here have screens. It is so strange. I thought it was just Colette's town but it seems to be a lot of France has no screens.
Tonight we are watching Far West '89. Another American film. Pretty good.
I thnk if I wasn't so afraid of messing up French I would speak ok. Instead I don't speak at all.
We will be here for 4 days. i found that out when Colette began ironing -- everything. Usually she only irons one outfit at a time. So I decided to ask how long we would be in Honflour. I love it!
