thursday, day 17 of our trip-
we woke up thinking possibly the beach, but it was cold and rainy. it ended up being the perfect lazy day…homemade crepes from a box. turns out, they tasted like rubber, but once you apply a little nutella, it tastes gourmet!
we also saw a double rainbow-too amazing and beautiful. we learned from wiki-
In a “primary rainbow”, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted while entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, red facing toward the other one, in both rainbows. This second rainbow is caused by light reflecting twice inside water droplets.
we of course did our math lessons, couldn’t do laundry-which needs to be done!, enjoyed playing battleship against each other on ipads, and watched a few shows. i’m happy to report, no croissants or chocolatey desserts. only a few bites of a baguette…i’m weaning slowly!
p.s. the photo from my iphone is an app translating french to english…not very helpful as you can see!
