Oh What A Night

This is my view:

After staying awake until almost 7am last night ( I found out my classes for today were cancled for a strike meeting), I woke up a little before one, planning on meeting my friend Amanda to go to the train station. Instead she knocked on my door because I fell back asleep.

We tried to plan our trip to Nice, and were invited to go to Rennes for the evening. We waited for a few hours drinking and watching a bike trick dude outside Amandas window with the soulful music of a Betty Boop cartoon.he is actually really good!
Finally it came time that we were hungry, and tired of waiting so we decided to go ice skating.
We all seperated to go to make dinner. While making dinner I met William from Cambodia who is here in his second year studying law.

I went to Nicoles room to find out that we were going to Rennes! So I grabbed my camera and off we went only to be judged fiercly by the frenchies for driving a whole hour on a tuesday when everything is closed!

We jumped into Camerons Belgian brother (PH) smart car and headed toward Rennes. We jammed to music and sang some tunes to PH from our own repitoire::: Ive got friends in low places...:::

Upon arriving we explored the city center and all of its historical sites...comparing them to LE MANS ...all closed with it being 10pm. We took some pics and ate some burgers at a crazy belgian fast food place, and we got free ice cream (thanks PH).

with choc ice cream in our tummies we decided it was time for some beers, so we headed back toward a tiny bar we had seen called the cat who fishes. We were greeted rather warmly to a little cottage type place full of cat decor and comfy chairs. We picked a spot in the corner, and ordered some beers...then things got crazy

List of the day...CRAZY things we discovered this night
  • 1. We were at a gay bar
  • 2. The music is awesome
  • 3. Spraying eachother with champagne is fun?
  • 4. Sometimes when the drunk dudes ask you to join just say yet.
  • 5. Amanda is MAGNIFIQUE
  • 6. Sometimes you want a cigarette and sometimes you want a cigar ( when nicole asked if they sold cigarettes the waiter asked if we wanted cigarettes?...then he pulled up his apron...or cigar?)
  • 7. There so DOES NOT have to be a dance floor to dance
  • 8. If you hate beer, try belgian
  • 9. Sparklers are a fine thing to have inside
  • 10. Gloves are "hand shoes" and cross walks are "zebra pads"
  • 11. French people know the real meaning of Let Loose, and no boundries.

There is most definately something to do on a tuesday night...you just have to find it.
