Montpellier Beach!


On Saturday, a few of us went to the Montpellier beach which is actually in the city of Palavas Les Flots. I had to go and thankfully, we went on a wonderfully sunny day. The trek to the beach is a stretch but worth every minute of the hour long travel. You have to take a tram to a bus and then walk about 1 KM. It's great though. As you can see in the pictures, it's simply beautiful. There were almost no people there which made it an ideal day to walk really far down the beach. Dawn, David, Cathy and I really enjoyed ourselves. The wind was pretty much non-existent. I walked barefoot and noticed how soft the sand was.

We stopped for a little snack about halfway down the beach for wine and those Apple Raisin cookies that I mentioned that were supposed to be "American". They were fine but not American in anyway that I could figure and the wine is seen here in my portable Nalgene bottle. It was way easier than transporting a glass bottle with me.

And here I am. Though I may not look super happy, I really enjoyed myself.

After the beach, we went to a party at the Australian rugby player's house. Here's a few pictures from there below. It was great fun even though the "dj" was really 2 guys with mac computers attached to really, really horrible $2 computer speakers that were cracking ALL night. All they did was hook up their computers with their iTunes playing and think that was enough. The music was really pretty bad but we did get a lot of bonding done, as always and enjoyed some drinks until the wee hours of the morning. Cathy spent the night and apparently my pull out couch is more comfortable than her bed. So anyone wishing to come visit, I guess my pull out couch now gets a stamp of approval.

Here are Cathy and Leymi.
And here are Dawn and David.
