Once upon a time...

Three girls up and left in a camping car to go to Puydu Fou (and get away from the crazy boys at home!).

 

 

The trip started out nicely, with a little candy and some homework.

 

 

When we arrived at Puydu Fou, we had a little time to kill, so we ate a snack and played hangman.  In case you were wondering, hangman is not the same in every country.  It was interesting to learn to play it with different rules.



 

We had to arrive at the big show an hour before it started, so we did what any two bored girls with a camera would do.

 

We took silly pictures!

 

 

 

 

We didn't have any paper or pencils, but that didn't stop us from playing hangman!  I lost, obviously.

 

I'm not quite sure what she was pretending to be, but it was funny.

 

Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take any pictures of the big show, so you'll just have to take my word for it that it was good.

 

The next morning, they tried to take a picture of me.

 

Tried, and succeeded, unfortunately.

 

We had to wait in line in the hot sun for the different events.  It wasn't exactly fun, but it was better than in Virginia.  They're "hot sun" is like a spring day for us.

 

This was the setting for the Viking show.  It was really neat to watch a show out in the open like this.

 

 Next, we went to the Roman show.  It was in a collesium, of course, and they had us do the wave, but because it was in a collessium, it just kept on going round and round.  It was pretty fun.



 

We saw a real live chariot race. (White won, in case anyone was wondering.)

 

We also went to a Miedeval bird show, which was spectacular.

 

The finale was the Ballet of the Birds and the birds would fly from one side of the stadium to the other, intermingling in pretty patterns.  It was too lovely for this picture to capture.

 

Next, we walked through the Miedeval village.  It was quite adorable.

 

One of my favorite shops was the wood carver's.

 

There were gorgeous carvings like this hand.

 

Last stop before leaving was this cute 18th century town.

 

And then we got on the road and went home.

The end.
