Odds and ends

My Norwegian friend Nina came here Tuesday and brightened my day considerably. It was nice to be able to speak in full sentences again... We went for a ride on Wednesday and by sheer dumb luck ended up at one of the world's nicest caves, La Grotte des Demoiselles. Thursday we first went to La Grotte des Camouse then went for a drive around the countryside, all the way down to the coast. I'll post pics of the cave stuff later. She went home to Norway yesterday and I am now looking at two weeks of grunting and pointing at things, maybe with the odd venture into something not wholly unlike French. Sigh. Anyway, here are some odds and ends, photowise.

The sandwich at my regular lunchplace on the esplanade... it's almost as big as my underarm and has a huge slice of cheese running the length of it.


From Lac du Salagou, a lake about 20 mins from Aniane. On the way back we indulged in some milkshake and ice cream at a McDonalds. They had AIR CONDITIONING! *sob*




Wascally wabbits in Saint Guilhem, where we spent some time Wednesday.


This fucker can be seen just about everywhere down here, it almost feels like the American south.


Some bugs we saw on Wednesday. There are a number of things that creep and crawl in these parts, and I want to stomp on them all.




Some nice pics we took at a roadside stop not far from the Grotte des Demoiselles.
