France

We finally left England on April 1st. We traveled on a boat that also carried our car. I was the first to see France behind me. People can also swim from England to France. Its called the English Channel.

 The picture below is typical of many old style homes and buildings in France.
 These can be hundreds of years old.

 The picture below shows standing stones which are similar to Stone Henge. They are thousands of years old and no one knows why they are there, but they were put there by people.

The picture below is a chateau which means castle in French. A very rich ruling family would live in something like this.

Our home in France for 1 month. It is 400 years old!

This is our family having dinner on the front verandah.

This is the day we caught oysters for dinner on the French coast (Atlantic Ocean). I also caught lots of little crabs.

We visited a French Resistance Museum. The Resistance were not  a real army, they were normal who had to fight with guns because there was no army there to help them during World War 2.

It was hard to speak and understand another language. Everyone has a siesta in the middle of everyday. That means all shops close and schools close for 2 hours in the middle in of the day. This is because lunch is their main meal time.
