La Grotte

Today was such a long day... it's 22:46h (10:46p for those of you not used to Eurotime) and I haven't been back to the apartment since 7:35h. We went to some places up in the mountains for the day. We had a long true to form traditional French lunch. We ate bread and drank wine, then we had trout. It was a whole fish, and it was purple with some sauce that looked like blueberry yogurt on top of it. I had to take off the skin and get rid of the bones, head, and fins. Needless to say, I didn't actually eat much of the fish - I was too grossed out. We then had the cheese course, followed by dessert which resembled the éclairs from Van Wilder... yum.

After lunch we went into the caves, where it was a refreshing 45°. It was a giant grotto - a lake inside a mountain. It was incredible. I have pictures, but they kind of suck, so it might be a while before I can get someone else's pictures and post them to the website.

Angelina, Amanda, Shelby and I went to Au Bureau for dinner and drinks. It was nice to relax for a bit after a very busy and tiring day. I decided to stop at the internet café since it's on my way home and check some email and update the blog. I'm really tired now, so I think I'm going to go home and read and go to sleep. Adieu!

P.S. BON ANNIVERSAIRE MAMAN!!! (happy birthday mom!!!!!)
