quiet weekend

It has been a pretty quiet week, with most people settling into life here and not doing anything too crazy. Today there was a huge flea-market type deal that happens once a year. It is called a vide-grenier, which basically means “attic sale.”

There were tons of people, and here are some pics showing the sheer number of people selling things. It was fun to walk and see everything and hear the people haggling over prices (there was this one really rude guy who was dressed quite nicely, but he was telling this lady that her radio for sale at like 2 euros was worthless and way overpriced.

One other funny thing I saw as I was walking were four policemen standing around this car inspecting it. I then saw that they were writing a ticket, and I found it quite funny that it took four to do so (two police cars, lol). I snapped a quick photo so I could settle the age old question of “How many French policemen does it take to write a ticket?”

Well, not much else to report….just have been taking it easy eating baguettes, cheese, and drinking wine….ahh, c’est la vie.
