After a week of great cycling with Linda, ( pictures to follow this week on the blog) she was off to her next adventure of cycling in eastern and southern France. Our family may join her at the end of the month for a week of more cycling during Meghan's fall break. Stopping at the local big box store we saw Halloween items displayed in a 8'by10' section. Very unlike the aisles and aisles of items at home. We have been told that they really don't celebrate Halloween here. Looks like no Garriott Halloween party this year.
To avoid more time on a train, I offered to drive Linda to Anger, about two hours east of Vannes to meet up with her friend Nancy who she will be biking with for the next two to three weeks. Luckily we found Nancy at the train station and drove to their hotel.
Out walking and looking for a place for lunch we happened upon this archaeological dig. After researching on the web, I learned they have uncovered 10 tombs dating to the 5th or 6
th century.It has been related that Maurille (336-426) sent down fire on a pagan temple and built in its place a church and a monastery.This is the location of the church. It was very exciting to witness this piece of ancient history!
For those who can read French, here is the article in the Anger, France paper dated Sept. 25, 2008.
You know I can't resist the food photos. Look at the colors on my lunch plate! I ordered a plate of hors d'oeuvres and this is what was presented. Was I pleasantly surprised. Much healthier than what I thought I was getting.
