Coffee, rugby and the beach

This was in a shop window front. "Scotch makes people happy." What the hell?

Lately, we have spent a lot of time at the beach since the weather here has finally turned nice. I can't tell you how many times we have been now but it gets better every time. Yes, I have been swimming (twice now) even though the water is pretty chilly and numbing. It's still fun and salty goodness.

A lot of the assistants are starting to leave since the 7-month contract people are now finished. They ended their contract on April 30, while us 9-month contract people will be finished on June 30th. Dawn is now done and is staying in Montpellier for another month to just have a vacation and hang out. We went to a going away party on Friday (the first of many I am sure) and stayed super late while having a great time. A couple pictures from the party below:

On Sunday we spent the day watching rugby in the less than stellar conditions. We lost (22-8) but it was fun to watch no less. Leymi, Cathy and I enjoyed ourselves even with the drizzling weather.

We discovered a new coffee place (called Toast and Tea) that we have enjoyed twice now. Here are some artsy pics taken by myself and Cathy.

Yeah, that's right. My espresso was served in a shotglass.

So can you notice what the SPF is on this tanning lotion? What's the point?


When I was walking around Frontignan on Thursday, I happened upon this group of adults dressed like clowns dancing in a circle. No idea what they were doing or why but I had to get a picture. Enjoy.
