Back in Rennes...

Coming back is much easier when it is not raining.

Neither did the Nesquick Strawberry milk powder (though I think that is a good thing).

The French are STILL on vacation. The August holidays are no cliches, people really take them. I guess in Paris it is less so, because it is more tourism-focused, but here in Rennes, lots of stores close for the entire month. I still don't get it. How do they all manage to pay 12 months' rent on 11 months' income??
