From Nantes to Vannes

After a lengthy drive, we finally arrived in Vannes, France. Though the distance was short, we were our normal selves and got lost a number of times; it was fun to see the beautiful French countryside, though. Jean-Jacques and I remarked to one another that it reminded us of the Willamette Valley, Benin, and San Juan Island. 


Once we arrived in Vannes, we tried to check into our B&B, but the owner wasn’t around so we drove into the city center to explore. We walked along the docks, passed by touristy shops in the old city, and enjoyed some Perrier at a cafĂ©. Jean-Jacques crashed when we finally were able to check into our room, so I had to venture out to find dinner. Unfortunately, the only grub within walking distance was a Chinese restaurant; I ordered sweet and sour pork and a beef dish. It wasn’t thrilling, but it fed us. It’s already late, so I’m heading off to bed! I think we’re going to Carnac tomorrow, so that should be an interesting outing.

  1. Lost huh? That's pretty funny. Don't forget to relax one of these days and enjoy the vacation instead of always go, go, go. Thanks for writing again - I like to hear you're alright.
    Off island tomorrow picking up Papa.

    Love you both
