There it is, the Japanese beauty that takes Guim to work during the week and the two of us around Bordeaux on the weekend. Just to beat the REAL motorcycle drivers out there to it - yes, it only goes at a 110 km/h, but we feel the need for beautiful scenery more than the need for speed. Especially during yesterday's tour - after I probably broke my toe hitting a bedpost at full speed on Saturday. Beauty, eh?
Will somebody sell the French a couple of "H"s, please? They even adapt their grammar to their pronunciation mistakes! Is it very obvious that I started teaching English again? After tons of CVs, a few interviews and sorting out the chaotic, unprofessional language schools that exploit their employees, I finally found myself two more part-time teaching jobs for Business English (yeah, right, like any of the students that I was supposed to teach Business English to had the level of English necessary for that) and discussions in English. Ah well, I am happy - after all, it is my vocation. Plus, it'll keep me from having too much free time, while Guillaume is working his pants off 9/6 in the pre-Christmas craze at Toys "R" Us. No pity, please ... or just a little bit ;)
Love to all of you!
To celebrate the last weekend of freedom before Guillaume's job start, we headed 2 and half hours north of Bordeaux to a region called "Perigord Noir" - the black Perigord (named in medieval times when the ruling couple plundered and terrorized the region beyond belief) for a romantic getaway. After a Saturday of sightseeing in caves and castles, we felt ready for a 5-course meal of local specialties - foie gras, prepared in all possible ways, duck breast, duck gizzards ... all the goodies! That made sightseeing on Sunday a little more difficult and slower, but we still managed to see two very famous caves before driving back to Bordeaux, ready for the new challenge!
