these past few weeks though, have been full of fun stuff to do with having old friends to visit and making some new ones! my friend martine from quimper came to visit and she and i had a great time seeing all the sights in nantes. we had wonderful weather for it too....

unfortunately i keep having to say goodbye to folks as they leave nantes before i do. here's a shot of me, carina and wendolyn just before carina left nantes for good. :-(

this past weekend i had a super random thing happen - my buddy april and i were walking in the pedestrian district of bouffay when a girl came running up to us from out of nowhere. turns out she is the other french teacher at jordan high (where i'll be teaching in durham) and she was having dinner with her friend (who is another french teacher from the district) when she saw me walk by and recognized me! i thought it was wild that they just happened to be visiting nantes and that we ran into each other! after that we spent the next day or so wandering the city, checking out the bars at hangar à bananes, the market at talensac, the music festival, etc.
april and i also got to spend time with an old friend who came to visit - casimir, who was in nantes back in october for a few weeks before he started a job in paris.

(she's one of those denizens that's always in the same outfit and muttering to themselves.)
happy picnic. happy galette.
l'éléphant on a beautiful afternoon.
and that's pretty much all for now!
