Playing the Tourguide in Saint Gaudens: Day 4

Day 4
Good weather... huzzah! Tessa braved it in a t-shirt (and so did I, at some points). We felt like
people were looking at us like we were a little bit crazy.
Re-did the mountain walk so that she could actuallysee the mountains. I was determined to have her see them from Saint Go! Lol.


By the time we returned from our walk, it was pretty much lunch time. Once again, a picnic-style one with bread, cheese, youghurt, pâtisseries and fruit. And mountain (/factory!) views.Here's Kingi with my pistachio micaron.


Then, I thought we should have a nosey inside the Collégiale church, since it's the symbol of the
town. Here's me in the cloister...



Once again, went wandering to make the most of the good weather. From then on, it was all go. Off to music again (orchestra this time) and then out to dinner with some teachers from the lycée.

Playing the Tourguide in Saint Gaudens: Day 3


Day 3

Today was market day... and also, cold, rainy weather! But the market was still there, so we had a good wander around.




Then went in a few of the free shuttles that run between Saint Gaudens and some of the (really, really, REALLY) small surrounding towns. Good thing to do when it's wet... except when the shuttle fogs up and you can't see much!







Went to the crêperie I'd been to with Sabrina for lunch. Great deal, actually. We got the meal of the day (a huge plate with several different kinds of meat, and a salad), a dessert crêpe and a drink for 10E!

For the arvo, went in a couple more shuttles and, later on, I dragged Tessa with me to my music practice. ;p
When we arrived, Wilfrid started taking off his sweatshirt and saying 'look, look!' Lo and behold... something very photoworthy!
