This weekend we will be in Dorgdone (Périgod) which is where the movie Ever After took place!! Good thing I love that movie to pieces. I remember when I was young watching it all the time. Mom took me to the Spaghetti factory and while we were waiting I went to "Toys that Teach" (the most awesome toy store in the world) and bought a little bag of gold stones. Then when I got home, I reenacted the scene in ever after where she drops her bag of gold coins all over the table and states "I slaughtered them!" I got the accent down pretty well.
I don't have very much to say but I wanted to write anyway because I've been missing my family lately. I am really glad to have made some great friends on this trip. It's just a bummer because it's not like my plate is overflowing with girl friends... and now that I have them I'll never see them again! Because of the whole mission/marriage/children thing. Luckily one of them (Rachel) lives in the bay area so we will go to San Francisco together this summer and she may come and visit Sacramento. Mom and Dad will love her because she's so smart and speaks French and Portugese and she's quiet and nice. Today we saw castles. AGAIN. I hate château's! I don't even care that I wanted to be a princess for years when I was a kid! I'd be happy if I never saw another one again! Tomorrow we're going to see a cave and walk around an old little city. Oh but cool fact, one of the castles I went to today was the city where Chocolat that film with Johnny Depp that mom and I use to watch together is filmed. I would recommend reading the book to that movie especially to Tana because it was really good.
Tonight I had mushrooms for an entrée, duck for dinner made in this strange looking salty crunchy bag thing. Those are foods from this region which is apparently considered the place with some of the best cosine in the world. They're known for foie gras, duck/goose, walnuts and apple cake type things. Its funny because those are all foods i'm not fond of. Another lesson in how horrible I am at trying new foods/ eating things I don't like!
More later when I have more interesting things to share!
I love you all!
