What were they thinking??

What's with the website you need to go to in order to rent boats around here??? And the starting age is 16??? Crazy French!

Pictures of the Apartment

Well, I promised pictures and here they are. This is the inside of our new apartment. It is pretty nice, but super small. You can't tell by the pictures. but it is smaller than it looks. As you can see we got cupboards, a sink and a stove top (stupid electric!), but nothing else in the kitchen. To the right of the sink goes a dryer (have to by that still), to the left of the stove goes the clothes washer (it is coming on Friday) and I forgot to take a picture of the tiniest spot possible for the fridge (that is also coming on Friday). Under the stove, where there is a curtain is suppose to be an oven, but actually it is a vacant hole (we bought the oven and that is coming on Friday, as well). We also bought a microwave, coffee maker and blender.
The bathroom doesn't come with an enclosure around the tub or curtain so we have to buy that, as well so we can actually take a shower. I am so tired of spending money I could puke!!!! As soon as all of our appliances come, I will post some more pictures.

Shopping Spree in Stormy Weather

So it took another 3 days, but we finally got the keys to our apartment. It rained the entire weekend and it was also a holiday, but we managed on Monday to get some appliances. So we went to this store called Boulanger (it is sort of like Circuit City) and spent 2/3 hours there buying a fridge, washer, oven, microwave and iron. They didn't have the fridge, washer or oven in stock. What a big surprise that was! So we now have to wait and have them deliver everything on Friday. I had to order a coffee maker (good grief) and it will be here on Wednesday. The other totally crazy thing is that we wanted a toaster and they didn't have that in stock, either. They said it was going to take 4 weeks! For a friggin toaster???? So after that we went to Decathalon. (Pics above) Boy do I like this store! It is like Sports Chalet, but wayyyy better. The last picture is little Presley exhausted from the day and it was only half over at that point! So we got some mats and sleeping bags because we have to camp out on the floor of our apartment for the next month until our stuff from the states arrives. Lord help us!!!

Then we went to some random store that wants to be Ikea and got mentally exhausted by all the crap you can buy. We only came out of there with some hangers and a shower curtain! Michael absolutely hated that place so I venture to guess that we will never go back there.

Then we decided to go to the sea for a quick view. It was really stormy that night. What a bunch of crazies we were!
