Yesterday was the excursion to a village below the surface, to see how the troglodytes lived a long time ago. We visited the caves and things that were actually bedrooms and kitchens back in the day, pretty interesting. From there, we went to a wine cave, and we got to see part of the production process of wine in the loire valley, and had a little tasting to go along with it. But as great as that was, the meal we had at an underground restaurant was even better. The main features were beef and mushrooms, with a little salad, bread, cheese, and apple pie to go along with it. The bread was similar to something you would eat in a middle eastern restaurant, the round football-shaped pita breads, so that was nice.
This morning, my host mom took me to the Decathlon, the euro sports shop, and I got what I needed to play ping pong here for the next few months, so now I'm ready. My professor is in a club, and he got me a discount on a good paddle, so this Thurs I'll be playing a local club, and I'll be playing at his club on Friday night...that should be interesting because it will test my ping pong and language skills at the same time, but it'll be fun. Tomorrow we are off to visit "les chateaux de la loire", or at least some of them, it should be great, and there will be pictures.
