I did promise photos of my last weekend and they are finally on my computer. Before I head of to take another 400 photos, I thought I best share the last ones with you. As I said, it was a lovely weekend. Fun and romantic and intellectually stimulating. The longevity of the Medieval architecture never ceases to amaze me. I can understand why my mom got a master's degree in the period, and I constantly wish she was here to see it first hand.
Right, the photos.
le petite maison รก Lingreville. Merci Marie et Pascal!
Moule Frites!
I made a cake for Toad's upcoming Birthday.
Even though it was too cold to swim, it was good to be on the beach, by the ocean.
Rillette AND pate. Not for the vegetarians...
On Sunday we drove to St. Malo...
Which was impossibly charming.
The old fortress was once inhabited by pirates! ARG!
The Ramparts
At low tide we wandered to one of the neighboring islands.
And then to St. Michel! This is the view from our hotel! No kidding!
I fell in love with this little chapel.
And the light was magnificent.
The Abby at night. This guy is playing Harpsicord.
Photo by the Toad himself. He wouldn't let me have the camera that night.
But I didn't mind.
Anatomically correct statue of a lion. Yes! I'm 12!
And the balls the kicked my ass. Petonque!
Right after Petonque we got got in a crazy downpour. We were soaked to the bone!We ended the weekend by enjoying watching the Bastille Day fireworks on the Eiffel Tower. It was perfect, if I may say. One for the books, at least.

beautiful photos Juliet! I love love love st Malo and mont st michel. Max went to his first year of police school in st malo so he too has a special fondness for that city. Looks like you had a great time :)
Just curious..how do you manage to upload so many photos per blog post? I always seem limited to 4 per post...
I just keep adding after it tells me "done"!
I can´t wait to go back. We should all go together sometime...
