We had our first excursion today! We went to thecoastal town of Erquy,
then an old lighthouse, then to Fort la Latte, an awesome medieval fort!
The first photo is of the coast. I uploaded only a few because it takes so much time! There was one place where the cliffs dropped sharply and formed a dramatic U. Further into the ocean, there was a massive rock just like the one Harry and Dumbledore stood on in the sixth movie. Hmm...
This is the fort! It was SO COOL. There were two drawbridges and a horrifying place for the prisoners... Maybe I'll tell you about that later. See the tall tower in the photo? That's the dungeon, but it wasn't for prisoners. It is the most secure plqce in the fort, and the lord of the area and his family would go there if the town was under attack.
Fort La Latte??? Is this where they invented over-priced coffee?

ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a great time and able to feel comfortable with the French. I know when Rob would come home for a visit, sometimes he would stop mid-sentence and say "wait I have to think what the English word for --- is". He spent so much time in France that French really became his first language. Have fun and I look forward to following your adventures with you.
ReplyDeleteAh! So cool! (Is that your host family? You totally look like you belong!) (also, that is some definite prime real estate)
ReplyDeleteKATE! Nice scarf, dahling.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your dad beat me to the coffee pun. You come from a funny dude.
I like your pictures! I'm so glad that you can upload them whilst you are away!
Love and phileo,
