New Adventures= New Views


It was our last day in Cholet area so we stayed home and caught up on laundry and some rest. Eric enjoyed Badonk (Bocce Ball) with the boys in the afternoon.


We rested up for the final grand show at Puy du Feu which started at 10:30pm since we have to wait until it gets dark here. It is so hard to go to bed early here when it is so light out. Often dinner isn't until 8pm which seems to be normal customs here (at least in the summer). Here is Ally and Gaëlle getting ready for the show.

 It was quite a spectacular show with over 400 actors and so many animals telling the story of French history, primarily all the wars and battles that took place in this region. We had translated stories through our phones, somerimes we couldn't figure out what exactly was going on but it was a Spectacular show.

 Tonight was a blood moon eclipse but was cloudy until just after the show. Caught just a small glimpse of it. Then we head home at 12:30am and getting through all the traffic took us an hour to make the normally 15 minute drive. We finally got into bed at 2am.

But then we were all up at 8 to pack up and clean to head out on our next adventure. New adventures equal new views. We arrived at the largest beach in France at their Grandmother's condo. Excited for the week ahead in La Baule in the Britany region. New region also means all new food specialties!!!



Just a little tartlett that came with our sandwiches for lunch. So delicious!


We don't have wifi this week so will do my best to post as often as I can. The pictures will also be screenshots so I can get them to load with my slow data. Hope you can still enjoy them!
