Fantastic France May 28, 2008

well I knew the keyboard was going to be different in France, but I’m still getting used to it- so please excuse my short entry.

First, i knew i was headed to the right place just by the food served on the plane. Gourmet in the skies is something i had never really thought of- but the French airline services manage to turn a 7 some hour trip into quite the dining experience.

Thus far we have visited 1 winery, Brugiere, and he grows organic wine, although he is not certified. We also had the opportunity to visit a supermarket, which was incredible, since most of the fruit and vegetables which I saw were so incredibly unlike anything in the US- and have thus far been very tasty.

I regret I must go- and though i had hoped that I would be able to do this everyday, it seems that the computer arrangement is much more complicated (and inaccessible) than we had thought. but i will try to write more as the trip progresses.

Bonjour!

Just a stones throw from Barcelona and Nice… We’ll be spending most of our time at an agricultural college, surrounded by vineyards located centrally in Monpellier. Then we will spend one week in the Cevennes, a range of mountains, just north of the city.
