Then we watched the big game: the French rugby team actually beat the New Zealand All Blacks!
They were face to face when the Blacks did their tribal intimidation dance, a first apparently. Check out the one hairy French guy in the red shirt who never smiles, that's Chabal, called the Caveman (see photo above).
Afterwards there was much honking of horns and shouting in the streets. Next Saturday we play England, who beat Australia yesterday, making them actually shed tears....
Today we did a little tour of the woods since the sun was out and the air was just wonderful, warm and fresh at the same time. Gathered chestnuts from the forest floor (more for fun than for eating) and picked and ate the last blackberries.
Saw a variety of wild mushroom species that are all edible.
Tonight I had a nice evening of American culture: watched football live from the states on cable (Steelers kick ass) drank beer and ate tacos with imported seasoning mix and better than velveeta cheese.
Home sweet home.
