this week was may day which in France is known as the jour de travail, it's like the big holiday in france so everything was shut - all the museums and that and there was no public transport at all so me and marie had to walk all the way into town to meet her parents,
when we got there we got to do some traditional may day activities though, including:
the giving of lily of the valley for good luck
nordic walking
and of course - protesting!
Sunday we took the boat over the river to the little fishing village of trentemoult, which is pretty but not much else, and had some delicious crepes lunch and then back over to place royale for yet more delicious ice cream - i'm getting as much of that in as i can.
We're down to our final 3 weeks now, I'm starting obs and gynae tomorrow at the horrendous hour of 8am, and marie starts rheumatology on tuesday have sneakily got a day off by "forgetting" there's no monday bank holiday here!
so i'm off to learn the french words for lady bits,
lots of love, alex
