good thing i don’t know french!…

thursday-day 18 of our trip!

what an absolutely beautiful day it was!  I think it was around 68 degrees.  we decided to head to beziers-and as we leave our little village, there is a round-a-bout.  well, i was trying to figure out which exit to take, and realized i had passed it, so i went around again.  a french woman driving behind me started yelling something and honking, and i couldn’t help but just break out laughing.  it was hilarous!  plus circling around 1 1/2 times can bring silliness on anyways.  what was she so upset about?  i just laughed throughout the whole day, and grateful i had no idea what she said!  i felt like chevy chase in european vacation.

on the way to beziers, we found a)the bridges i’ve been searching for that lead into the city that one sees in all the pictures of beziers, and 2)mall.

the mall is so different, from the mini parking stalls, paying for the potty, and of course the stores.  it was fun though, and trying to figure things out is always an adventure.  we bought some yummy snacks, sat on a bench in the middle of the open roof mall, and watched the koi swimming while we enjoyed the beautiful weather.  i found a protein bar with orange and chocolate, which has now become my new staple!  hopefully better for me than the patisserie.

ok-best bargain so far in france…water.  1.5 L of water for 17euro.  what a steal!

p.s.-all but the bridge photo was taken with the iphone…not the greatest turnout.
