The week after Normandy (which was last week, apologies for not being on time with the blog) we started off with a Sunday of hard work at Caroline Boyle-Turner and her husband Hank's house, moving rocks. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time  until we found a snake that was in the process of regurgitating a full toad, at which point we decided that we'd probably done enough work for the day. We had a delicious lunch in the house, and went for a walk along the coast. The next day we had the morning off to settle in and catch up on homework, and then in the afternoon we had art class with Sue. On Tuesday, we had classes and then went and visited a dairy farm near caroline and Hank's, where we got to meet the farmers and watch the cows getting milked. They were very friendly and had a much more industrial set-up than our farm back at Putney. After dinner that night we went to a Breton dancing class in the town hall, which was a ton of fun. On Thursday we went on a hike along the Breton coast, starting up where we'd left off the last time and walking about 7 kilometers. Sue's host family joined us that day, with the dancer Guillaume Bordier and their adorable puppy Leia. The next day we had a dance and movement workshop with Guillaume in Sue's house. He taught us a routine and we all had a great time. That night we had our art opening at the Cafe du Centre. All of our host families showed up, along with other friends that we've made on the trip. Saturday night al of the students had dinner at Carine's house, and then went to see some live music at an open mic night at the Cafe Bois d'Amour.
