Nantes part II

So I’m a bit behind Readers,my apologies .

Mercredi April 21 Donc, I ended up staying two extra days in Nantes, Clemence’s sister , Caroline took me in! which was quite nice of her!( pics ) this is a picture of the view from outside her window… gorgeous sunset! I which I took a pictures earlier on… it was even prettier! Later on that day we went downtown where there was a children’s Carnival! It was cute! We walked around for a bit and then went to a travel agencies…for college students… I’m not sure if I completely understood what it was.. but I’m pretty sure Clemence and her sister told me it was a place where they could get scholarships to go travel from the European Union … like if they wrote a report.. on there travels.. and focused on a certain aspect…of the culture.. they were all set.. and could get up to 1000€ which is pretty sweet! Free traveling anyone ?? lol
Later on that night .. we went out with some of their friends to a Chicha bar

hung out there for a bit.. It interesting .. to hang out with different types of people.. the subjects of conversations .. are all very different.. I’m not sure how to describe it.. but.. its both refreshing.. and nostalgic.. at the same time…
On the 22th Caroline and I went to an exposition inside the Lu companies old factory… ( you know Le petit écolier, les biscuit qu’on mange tout! smiles ) the Lu entreprise started in Nantes.. way back went.. it was interesting to see the old factory.. and even more interesting to see the expositions… it was art like this
and this

We spend all morning there.. and then in the afternoon.. I wondered off alone to the Cathedral of Nantes.. and an other church… called St. Catherine.. I think.. and then to a garden of the city… which I taught was absolutely beautiful! I spend the rest of the afternoon there.. day dreaming! … my camera died.. soon after I got there.. so there isn’t all that many pictures..but still go check them all like always in the photobucket under Eurotirp>Nantes
The next morning I was off on an 7h00 am train to Besancon… transferring in Paris… a 5 hour train ride.. on 3 hours of sleep…Priceless! Lol I think I’m really getting the hang of traveling around Europe by train!
