Croisic and, you guessed it, random pictures!

 

Today, we went to Croisic, another town on the coast.

 

On the way there, we passed the salt fields.  Let me just say that they were gorgeous.

 

It was super neat to wind through them on a little raised road.  The terrain was magnificant because you had the troughs for the salt and then all of these sudden little hills.

 

 

We went through a village that displayed a statue of a salt gatherer.

 

We also passed a windmill.  You can't hear the enchantment in my voice since I'm writing, but really I love all the neat European things I'm finding here, like this one.  I don't think I've ever seen an old windmill like this at home.  I have a feeling that I will miss the old European feel very much when I go back.

 

Look!  There's a bright yellow boat!  For some reason, bright yellow things make me happy, so I bother to take random pictures of them.  I sure hope it doesn't bother you all.  If it does, cope.  Or just don't read my blog.

 

It was really cool to see the different geography of Croisic.  The beaches were rocky (unfortunately I have no pictures to prove it), and then inland you had the sand and little eddies of water where people kept their boats.  It was quite neat.

 

I don't really have a reason for showing you all this picture, except that I like it.  I think it has something to do with the color of the boat and the fact that it's a boat.

 

Here was very impressive house.  I especially love the gate.

 

All throughout the town, there were mini-doors.  I'm not quite sure why, but they were rather cute.

 

And then there were big doors too with awesome door-knockers.

 

We found this old sign fading on the side of a house.  It was rather awesome.

 

And then if you look in the window there, you can see some of the most interesting curtains ever.  The reason they are important and you should care about them is that they're different.  I don't know about you all, but I just don't find things of that style in the USA.

 

And look.  They have angry drainage spouts too.

 

I completely love how the mildew sort of drips down the side of this house.  Yes, I know I have probems since I find mildew to be lovely.

 

And here we have a little door next to a big one to give you door-perspective.  I found the little one adorable.  (No, I'm not trying to repeat my lame puns.  That's just the word that comes to mind when I see it.)

 

On the way home, we passed another cathedral and I really liked the doors on it.  They were a kind of redish-orange with black scroll work.  I think we should get doors like that on our church....

 

 

 

And now we come to random pictures, the part you've all been waiting for!

 

Here, we have drawings from an English lesson with a friend.  Yes, that is indeed my representation of the human mouth. It was an attempt at explaining how the tongue is placed in the pronunciation of the r in "devouring."

 

 

Last night, we went to a men's professional volleyball match, and I'm happy to report that St. Nazaire crushed Nice. 

 

Another eraser sculpture for you all.  It was an attempt at a woman, and let me say that sculpting the hair is no piece of cake.

 

I didn't like fooling around with the long hair, so I switched back to sculpting guys.

 

Much easier, I have to say.

 

I then squished him and found it cool how his feautres weren't easily erasable.  (Puns! :D )

 

Here's a random picture I found from when my little sister locked me out on the balcony and then proceeded to take pictures of me.

 

And here's another picture I found from when I was packing up my stuff at home.  I noticed that all of the colors of my clothes were remarkably similar....

And with that, we come to the end of my post.
