Galettes and cidre

Hey all,

This weekend I took a trip to Rennes to visit a fellow Albion student and AZD, Kelsey. She's there studying abroad so I took the opportunity to see a new part of France! Rennes is in the French province of Bretagne (Brittany) which is also the area of Normandy. I had a wonderful weekend sightseeing and it was truly amazing to be around another Albion person. Albion is truly a unique place and it just confirms the belief that people who don't go to Albion just don't get it. Enjoy the pics.

Also, I just want to make it known that the past couple months I have been planning a trip with my Mom for my family to come here. It's going to be five of us: Mom, Gram, Aunt Lori, and a young friend of the family (this poor girl has no idea.) I'm so looking forward to seeing my family and to all the ridiculous stories that will no doubt come from my grandmother traveling to foreign countries.

Bisous à tous (My french "mom" always gets on me about signing my messages like this b/c it's the polite French thing to do. I forget quite frequently but here's my concerted effort)

B/c every French city needs a large church






I'm jealous of this park







So cute.
