im just gonna put it out there: we FINALLY had a sunday that was so much fun, we didnt even realize it was sunday! yessss. long story short, this past weekend was "de ferme en ferme" - a program where farms in the Drome were open to the public with special activities and tours and product sampling and all that fin stuff. olivier, part of jessika's group of french friends that ive adopted, proposed going out to a few farms to check it out; the plan was to meet in town at 11am and hit up about 3 farms. of course french time is not always tres punctual, so we actually all rendez'ed vers 11:30 instead (me, mandy, jess, olivier, pierre, claire, and alex), loaded into 2 cars, and headed in the direction of Soau (sp?)/Crest, where we were going to have lunch first.
well we were nearly to Crest, singing and goofing around in alex's car, when pierre pulled over to pass along the message that the restaurant we'd be heading to was already fully reserved for the lunch hour. So we just drove to Crest to find something fast...riiiiight. lunch at a pizza place, after tromping around most of the town looking for something that was open, took almost 3 hours. but it was sunny and hot, so we got nice and pink and it was all good. however, after the lunch ordeal (the waiter was a real jerkface), we were too fatigued to do a bunch of farms. claire leafed through the program and noticed that there was an ostrich farm on the ride back to valence. yes my friends, ostriches. why the heck not? so we did that, learned about the elevage of these magnificent birds (FYI one ostrich egg = 24 reg eggs. grOSS), hung out in the campagne, then returned to valence. coffees at the PK to recharge and chat about maybe going to the beach once im back from istanbul, then off to a RUGBY GAME (bourg les valence v someone, dunno who) with pierre, olivier, another of pierre's friends, and the girls. i mean, suddenly it was 8pm and we were like dang! what a good day! sunburns, ostriches, rugby, french guys wearing man capris...all love
