My La Giraudiere - Day 11

July 12, 2010

I returned to LG around 6 pm Monday evening where I found Lewis, Therese, and Minjie in the front of LG eating dinner (shepherd’s pie which Kim and Vicki had made).

I made an inquiry of the rest of the LG crew and learned that Paul, Vicki, and Kim had gone to Angeleme to fetch Linda from her weekend visit and to go shopping for the week. (“Fetch”: where’d that word come from? Paul's Engish is contagious.) They returned about an hour later with groceries, but without Linda. (Turns out that Linda’s bus that would take her to the Angeleme train station never came. Thus, she must wait until Tuesday before rejoining us at LG.
I learned a little about what went on at LG over the weekend:

The exciting activities starting very early Saturday morning, around 12:30 am, when Kim and Vicki were awakened to the fluttering sounds of a bat! (Perhaps it was the same one discovered by Kim earlier when cleaning up one of the soon-to-be renovated rooms.) After much discussion of what to do about the intrusion, they managed to direct the bat downstairs and finally out of the window.



On Sunday, Paul took Lewis, Minjie, Vicki, and Kim to Aubeterre, France to visit a monolithic church. They found the church absolutely breathtaking. Minjie took some lovely pictures of some of the scenery en route to (name of place).






On Sunday, I visited “La Venise Verte” located in “Le Marais Poitevin.” What a lovely village and a lovely day for a nice boat ride.
