In the Cuts
Dorms
So I wish someone would have said "Everything goes in France; fend for yourself." Because seriously, we are out in the cuts. There is no refrigerator for us to use, or a close restaurant, or really anything. You have to take the train get anywhere, and we've only been able to buy non-perishable food unless we eat it right then and there. It's been an adjustment to say the least..
We finally broke down and bought some utensils so we will be trying to make some things with our limited resources. Shit is expensive out here. Here is some pictures of our very basic dorm:
Errands in Bordeaux
We bought some beans, a pot, rice, and tortillas.. Things we haven't been able to find at restaurants. So now we don't have to worry for a couple meals. We also bought some water for our undying thirst out here. It's seriously unquenchable. There aren't any water fountains here so you have to buy it when you're out or bring it with you.
I was running out of clothes so we took the train to the nearest laundry mat that we could find. Our dorms laundry mat is only one washing machine and no dryer... So we paid the 4 euro to wash and 1.50 euro for 12 minutes to dry. It was just nice to have clean clothes :)
So right now, I am trying to multi-task, but I am really bad at it. So I will let you all go. If you want my new number just send me an e-mail or facebook me.
