Cahutta, Dinan and a Party

As usual, Ellen, the sole assistant in Loudeac, came to St. Brieuc for the weekend. We planned on going out to one of our favorite bars but we accidentally got sucked into watching approximately 15 episodes of Real World: Sydney on mtv.com. Our favorite roommate was a fun-loving hillbilly from the Georgian mountains named Cahutta. We both basically fell in love with him. His accent was too funny and we couldn't stop watching his romance with Texan KellyAnne bloom. At one point he talked about how he wanted two or three mountain babies running around and that he'd better start looking for a girl cause he wasn't getting any younger (he was 23). In short, spending Friday night having a Real World marathon was a fabulous use of time.
The next day Ellen, Clare and I took a day trip to Dinan. I went once before with Paul but that was right before Christmas and it was cold and already dark. Saturday was a beautiful day and it was light out so the town looked totally different.

All in all, an excellent weekend.

I don't know if it's just the angle, but Jessica's beer bottle in that last picture looks enorme.

It was! Haha, it's what we call in the States a "forty." You may be familiar...?
