Little village

So when we last sent our email we were still in Bourdeax.

 

The day after that we went to Toulouse (about 1.5 hrs away).

We did quite a bit of walking there visiting some old churches along the way. After a very hot day we decided to join the French people at the park for some shade. Over the corner we notice this woman laying down on the grass, so we decided to join her. We were almost falling asleep when a policeman came over and told us that we couldn't lay down on this part of the park. We started laughing but he didn't mind it.

 

On Thursday we made our last stop for our first France lap in Narbonne. We got picked up by our long relative from the station. He took us to a place called St. Laurent a 700 people village 30 minutes from Narbonne. As planned we arrived on the 13 of July to be present at the July 14th celebrations of Bastille (the biggest holiday in France). Most people in the village got together at night time to have a feast and all you can drink wine from the wineries in the area. After the meal was over, all the kids turn some candles on and we started walking around the village following a car blasting "marching music". The funny part was that the car looked like a car from Corydon, all suited up with fire painting on the sides and a awesome stereo system. It was sort of a clash of cultures.

 

Anyways, we made our way around the village until we got to this hill and we stopped. From there we had a good view to the church up the hill were fireworks were displayed. It was a very great night.

 

We finished our night talking to a local whos parent were actually Spanish. He complained about all the foreigners and their money showing but he seem to like us because we spoke Spanish.

 

Anyways, we are now heading to the town center to play some bochi. It is quite hot so we don't know for how long we will actually stay.

 

As a side note: I have never imagined how much do French people smoke around here. Unreal!
