I planned out our excursion Saturday to St. Guilhem le Desért, supposedly one of the most beautiful little towns in france. Taryn’s Italian girl that lives with her went to a place nearby there a few weeks ago to go cliff jumping with her friends so we decided if we found it we’d get off and go.
Well, we found it and got off. The bus driver was like, this isn’t St. G yet. we’re like, we know we changed our minds! We got off at Pont de Diable, bridge of the devil, and changed into our suits. It was a perfect 4th of July. We spent the whole day cliff jumping, swimming, and exploring. Some of us swam to where the river got smaller and the current was so strong but it wasn’t deep at all and it carried us down the river! Our butts were hitting the rocks and it was really funny because this one older lady got caught in it and was laughing to her husband saying, J’ai mal a la cul! Which means my ass hurts! We swam around a lot, got a lot of sun, and jumped again and again. I have some pretty cool pictures and put a video up on facebook if you wanna check that out. I also have some other catch up pictures from Paris and some of week 4 of Montpell’yeah! Enjoy and comment!
Here’s what’s coming up this week
Monday: Actually visit St. Guilhem and probably revisit Pont du Diable
Tuesday: Tour de France comes through Montpellier!
Wednesday: Group EXCURSION- that word sounds so intense to me- to Arles to watch a Course Camarguaise, like a bull fight but the bull doesn’t die, in the Arenas there.
Thursday: JASON MRAZ CONCERT in the Arenas at Nîmes!
Friday: Whatever we come up with between now and then
