Rennes, je t'adore!

Well, after a shakey start yesterday, things seem to be back on track. I met more english-speakers today. There are alot of Irish about here. Well, there are alot of Spanish here too, but it seems I know more Irish than I do anything else. I met some Germans and another English person! Hurrah for the english!

Today involved some sort of obligatory talk, which told us no new information. This was followed by "un apéritif". 11h30, and I was on the breton cider. AND, it was socially acceptable. God, I love France. This was followed by a trip to town. We made the mistake of getting off at Sainte Anne, and NOT getting the escalator. It's the equivalent of like 5 flights of stairs. Legs. Of. Steel. It was worth it though, because Place Sainte Anne is really really lovely. With nice houses that are like the Shambles in York. Some wandering later and we ended up in Virgin Megastore, which sells stationary, books, everything. It's quite amazing, but incredibly expensive.

In other news, I managed to get a French phone. It was quite the acheivement, and took some waiting. The Orange shop in France is odd. You arrive, sign in, then get called to be served. Like in a doctors. Most odd. Anyway, I now have a black and green cheap-ass French phone. Avec Orange. So tout va bien.

I can't think what else has happened today. General exploring, more drinking in french bars/pubs. All very good. C'est tout pour maintenant!
