Another day

Well its offically day three in Lacoste. Today was really interesting. We had the day to ourselves, and after an interesting night, lets just say we started the day off in the late morning. After a hearty breakfast of crossaint and eggs it was time for some walking. My roommate Lauren and I and our new friend Nicole decided to walk down into the valley. I had heard some of my professors talking about a race track built by the locals, and I wanted to find that too. So we trecked down the hill into the valley. And almost every 10 mintues I had to stop and take a picture. It was a beautiful walk. The trees are all blooming white blosoms and it is so green here!! When we made it down to the bottom, we decided to turn around and treck back up the hill beause rain clouds were coming. We had wanted to go to the nieghboring village but there was no way we were going to make it without rain gear.

But during the long walk to the top, I did find my race track. But to my utter surprise, its not a race track for real cars...but for remote control cars!!:) This was the most interested thing I have seen in a long time!! It was a full blow dirt race track built with jumping ramps and turns. Grown men and boys were racing gas powered remote cars. They did flips and turns and would knock each other off the track...it was intense and so much fun to watch. I am going to post pictures of it as soon as I can! And hopefully they do it every sunday, becuase it was so much fun to watch

Finally we made it back to Lacoste, after about a 3 hour hike. But it was well worth the journey because of all the great things we got to see. I decided to take it easy and wander through Lacoste some more. The people are so nice and everyone you meet always acknowledges you with Bonjour.

So it was a much needed slow day. Tomorrow reality sets in becuase classes start. So more news on how that goes when I have some to tell. And I promise Pictures will be up soon! Until later..
