Tilling the soil

Today we got to experience watching the all-France champion farmer tilling the soil in one of the fields with his prize thoroughbred Breton plowing horses (They're so fat and stocky!). In other news, it was a beautiful day in Brittany!

Road trip to Loire-Atlantic/France and back...

Road trip to Nantes and back!

The latest trip was a two day road trip to Beaupreau (East of Nantes) to visit some of Steph's friends (Jon, Caro, Mathew (titi) & James (mimi)). We of course visited Steph's aunt Cecile and family (Xavier, Myriam, Neil, Maxim, & Nat) in their summer campground (Tregunc) and I enjoyed my first french BBQ.
