And We Thought the South Was Slow . . .


Last weekend, as well as this one, I had the privilege of staying at the Chateau for a whole weekend.  Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to travel all the time, but I certainly needed a break.  It was a good chance to rest, and absorb a sacred part of the French culture- the weekend.

Of course we have been in France for a while now, so I have seen French folks doing their weekend thing, but I hadn’t really had the chance to participate much.  I love it!  None of them have anywhere to be or anything to do, its great!  They just enjoy themselves all weekend long! 

At first I though perhaps it would be boring, but really it isn’t!  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not what I want to do every weekend, but periodically it is really good to de-stress for a few days.  We live life at such a fast pace that we miss things, which is really a shame! Even when we are relaxing, we tend to still be busy.  Here, we have no choice, especially on Sunday since everything is closed!

So after two weekends of relaxing, I feel reenergized and ready for more traveling!  However, I may have to bring a little bit of this pace of life back home with me in December.
