Bienvenue Les Bleus!

by Tom

I’m glad we are in a hotel rather than a hostel since we get the room to ourselves and some privacy, but we’re ten minutes from the heart of Montpellier. And our hotel is in the boonies, seems like a rest stop. We got to see plenty of horses and farm land (mainly wine vineyards) on the way to our hotel. We were like, “What the?!? Where the hell are we?” We bought some wine and cheese from the marche’ and French wine did not disappoint. (AOC certified means good apparently.) However, bleu fromage was :( . It really tastes like fungus.

The next day we went to a nice creperie and it was damn satisfying. I had a cheese, egg, ham, and cream crepe for my 1st and a praline cream crepe for my 2nd. We all came out :) French food is good so far. Wonder what will come up. After our meal, we found out everything is closed Dimanche. Montpellier was extremely boring as a result. I’m back at the hotel after a pleasing swim in l’hotel piscine. The Spain-Italy game is starting, and tomorrow: off to the sandy beaches of Nice in Cote’ de Azur.
