July 16

These are long days and we are losing track of the dates and days of the week.
Today we got on the bus and headed for the coast of Normandy. We stopped at Honfleur to visit this adorable seaside village. Doug, Emily, Barbara, Colette , Keziah and I had lunch in a café by the port. I have moules-frites which is the speciality of the region. I was very happy with it, but nobody else really wanted to help me eat the mussles!
In the afternoon we drove to Une Fromagerie and learned how to make goat's cheese. At the end a few of us tried the chocolate made from goat's milk. We made a quick stop at Etretat to see the beach. It is very stoney, but the girls wanted to go in the water anyway. It was cold and the surf as crashing on the shore. They had a ball in the waves and we got some good pictures. Keziah had done a report on the cliffs and most of the students remembered this beach mentioned in a BJU test. So it was cool to see it.
We drove back to Rouen for another night at this hotel. It is our favorite so far - the church bells across the square wake us up. Dinner was at a restaurant with food from Chili - different!
