My trip to France





I've decided to start a blog for my trip to France. This will be the easiest way for me to share my trip with everyone. Hopefully I will be able to download photos of my trip, im planning on it but who knows what sort of computer hookups they have where Im going. If for some reason I cant get the photos up in Brittany, for sure ill be able to in Paris. So for now Im getting ready by doing laundry, cleaning my apartment(for the supposed subletter), packing and purchasing last minute items for the trip. I think most of you know but for those who dont, Im going to Brittany to take a course in crepe making, HA! The region I am going to is the western most part of France, on the coast, its called Finistere, which translates to "end of the earth", I love this little fact. Here's a Wikipedia blurb:

The name Finistère derives from the Latin Finis Terræ, meaning end of the earth, as does the Breton name for the region, and may be compared with Land's End on the opposite side of the English Channel. It is not to be confused with Cape Finisterre in Spain.

Right after my course I am going to Paris to meet up with Natalie, Im very excited about this, its always fun with Natalie. So I take off this coming Friday and land on Saturday. I will keep everyone updated along the way.
