Rule Bretagne
Mar. 13th, 2002 11:07 amI hate it when the boss accosts me with information and paperwork before I have my coat off.
In other news, J. and I did some planning for our France trip. Looks like we'll spend the middle three days in Brittany; we'll go see neolithic standing stones at Carnac and try to take in Easter Mass in Breton at the cathedral in Quimper. (I don't know the language at all, but I'd not really follow a French mass any better. And hey, it's a Christian church on Easter; you can make some basic assumptions about what's going on.) And we'll eat some crepes.
Of course it all depends on the cooperation of the SNCF and some buses. Last year a strike kiboshed our plans for spending a couple of days in Normandy. So we shall see.
Update a couple hours later: seems the trains and buses will, if there's no strike, work as we wish them to, but getting up there is going to cost us half of what we paid to buy our airline tickets to France! We'll probably still go, though, as that's not quite so large a number as it might be, thanks to Iceland Air.
