Today is my last night in Lazignan Corbier. There are so many stories from this place I don't even know where to begin. (Take a look at my previous posts which are video logs to see what I mean).
First I guess I
should start with Elenore my host. Since these past two days I have
really gotten to know her well we have been exchanging stories non
stop. She is living with her parents now in LC and working as a hotel
receptionist for the moment in Carcassonne. She has a demeanur which
immediately puts you at ease. I guess I would compare her to Nathan
whom I met in Istanbul. Some people just have this aura or energy I
guess. She is planning to go on a trip to discover herself and the
world in December in Asia from Thailand to China to South Korea.
Speaking of South Korea, her brother is actually there right now on
Jeju island. He is a famous juggler (Matthieu Durian) and he has been
featured in 5 TV shows by KBS the Korea version of NBC or CBC or
Canal+.
Elenore's parents
are also very cool. Elenore lives on the bottom floor and her parents
live on the top floor. What surprised me was I was going to be
sleeping in Elenore's room in and her parents are totally cool with
that.
Since we came back
last night from her reception job in Carcassonne very late at 7am.
She works the night shift. We both slept throughout the day and woke
up only around 1pm for me and '4pm for her.
I went out and
bought some groceries and stocked up especially on fruits and veggies
since I haven't been getting enough of that. I tried a new recipe of
combining eggplants with Raclette cheese. It was really really good
and so easy to make!
We went for a hike
just now and checked out the storm damage from last night and this
morning. A part of the road in the city was completely flooded in
this morning and the local dam was almost to the breaking point.
Whole trees were swept down river to give you a sense of the kind of
storm that happened.
Elenore is off to
work now. I am going to take it easy for tonight. I am waiting to
watch Koh Lanta the French version of Survivor which I have gotten
addicted to thanks to Lio and Denis my Belgium friends in La Grau du
Roi. And I am going do some more research about tablets probably.
