Pictures from France

Here are some picture from France!  Most are from hiking around Chambon les Gourges, the camping area we were staying in.  It is in very rural France so we got to wander around little farm houses and wonder how people survive so far away from everything... literally in two or 3 house "towns" mostly populated by chickens and cows...

Also I have some lovely pictures from a trip up the coast to Brittany...yummy seafood and even yummier coast line...I can see why everyone in England has summer houses here!!

Family Marrin (part!)

How much is that piggy in the window?

Amazing Bretange coast line

Satan lives here, or the guy from Chainsaw massacre... French version...massacre à la tronçonneuse

Back in the Golden State

Hi Everyone!!

Sorry for the lack of posting!!  I was disconnected and spending a wonderful two weeks in France with family Marrin!  We were staying in a *charming* campground outside of Angeloume (a town 2 hours north of Bourdeaux).  It was beautiful there full of French countryside charm ;)

We also took a little trip to Brittany to see the extended family and some amazing coast line and sample the devine cooking of Mami Marrin....

Pictures and recipes coming soon!!

Now I am back in California enjoying some quality time with my parents and the furry family!  I am looking for work like oh so many 20 something's recently graduated and like most, having a hard time!  But trying to keep positive attitude and hope for the best!  I have decided to use the time to do some fun projects such as fixing up moms winder garden, canning (aahhh) and catching up on reading!  I will try and get up some posts and recipes from our adventures of unemployment!!

Drop me a line and say hi!
