We are on a road trip to Brittany. I rented a car to pick up Rich and Mercedes from Nantes airport. We drove to Saint Nazaire because everything was booked in Nantes - this week the Giants were running in the street like the bulls in Pamplona. We are going to stop in Nantes on the way home tomorrow to maybe catch a glimpse (I wonder will there be any Americans gored like in Pamplona every year).
We kinda like Saint Nazaire even though it's a gritty kid brother to Nantes. We walked out on the waterfront last night with the full moon illuminating the American monument. Today we got on the road to Guerande. We stopped in a very pretty village called LePouligon for galettes and coffee. Things were closed for lunch in Guerande so we continued on to Vannes and spent a good long time exploring the old city. We ended up in Carnac where we tramped through the UFO landing strips and had dinner at a cute little restaurant in the downtown.
We are back "home" in Saint Nazaire waiting for the inevitable cheers from the World Cup game in the bar below us.
Old airport, no riots. But plenty of police activity.
Full moon over Saint Nazaire waterfront.

When you say the Giants do you mean the SF Baseball team? The giant puppets? Something else altogether?
Yours in mystery.
