Last Post from Lorient

It's almost midnight here, and I'm headed back to the university to get a good night's sleep before the bus leaves at 0900 tomorrow. The picture above is of some lights in the town which are formed in some celtic symbols.

I had some seafood pizza for dinner tonight, at the same restaurant as lunch. This time I ate with Brett, Angie, Postie, Bryan, and on the other table were Andy, Lochy, Lochy and Claire. I had the seafood pizza [La Johanna - Fruits de Mer, Saint Jacques, Crevettes, Calamars, Moules, Thon - Nos fruit de Mer son Frais !!!] as pictured below. Since people weren't able to finish their meals, I was also able to eat a few Mussels as well!!!!!

I had some wine [and beer] with dinner, I think it was vin rouge de garde. It was very nice, in any case, and complimented the pizza very nicely.

After dinner we saw a Scottish folk band at the cabaret. I'll figure out the name of the band later. They were very entertaining!

The weather has been great here, and today I saw a sign that had us at 34°C!!! We played our last gig with the Lanester bagad band, where we played Amazing Grace [the common denominator between the bands!]. The daylight hours are also great, where it gets dark only at about 2200... Scotland should be even better!

Tomorrow, it's on the bus for another 8 hours to Paris, and then a flight to London, to see Andrew Williams! I'm very excited about the next phase of my trip!

I'll bet Amazing Grace with the Lanester Bagad band brought a tear to the eye or a lump to the throat. It sounds like it was a great festival - one for the scrap book...

Bon voyage for the UK. Say hi to Margaret and Jim.
