Another Busy day in Lacoste

First thing in the morning we were headed off to APT for the open air market. I was on a mission for a new sketch book and a lemon for my sun brewed southern style sweet tea. are you surprised with the sweet tea, I think not.

Had to take this one for all the ladies, sexy French man, at the pizza place, yum yum. Oh the pizza was really good too.

We walked around for a bit and some of my new lady friends found some amazing deals on shoe there. It is making me wish I would have brought some of my summer dresses with me. I feel a bit out of place always in the jeans and shirt, wishing I had more girly gear with me but I guess that means shopping!!!

We ran across the cathedral there and we took a look inside. I thought immediately of my grandmother, Hilda, god rest her soul.  She would have loved a place like this.

The Apse….

Underneath the dome….

The alter….

After making our way back to Lacoste we spent the afternoon at the soccer field that is just down the hill about a two minute walk. Team Lacoste ( the locals) were playing another team from a couple towns away.

On a side note…. a few of us have gotten to know a couple of the locals and they are really cool people. It is very interesting to me to get a different perspective on the world through their eyes. It is making me appreciate the luxuries that we take for granted every day in America.

Then it was off to get ready for dinner, which thankfully was much better then the weird leak thing they served us the night before. Amazing vegitables, my Pop would love the green beans they prepare, and what tasted like hotdogs but wasn’t. (not sure what it was but it sure was delicious)

Once I made it back to the room we had a visitor….one of the local cats decided  that it was going to come on in and make itself confortable in our room. Very cute!

Kitty with my roommate Lauren…..

He was so loveable….

and not afraid to make himself confortable on our beds.

I sit now reflecting on the day…..how lucky I feel to have this chance to see all the things in France that I have always dreamed of. Thank you again to all the people that were so instrumental in making this possible for me. It really is a once in a life time opportunity!

Love you all, goodnight!
