A la campagne d'Anjou

Today I went on an adventure that I had no idea was going to happen!

It started with lunch at the Caféteria at Espace Anjou (the big shopping mall in Angers). Nora, her husband Michel,and their son Sébastien picked up Lilian and me at the Cité at 12h30 and took us to lunch there. After eating, we went for a drive à la campagne (in the country) near Angers, where all of the MANY vineyards are. We drove through several small villages and I don't remember pretty much any of their names, except what I captured in photos on road signs. :) Between the small villages is where the Domaines usually are. One of my favorite white wines is from the Val de la Loire (which is the region where Angers is located) and it's called Coteaux du Layon. Well - that's one of the many vineyards we saw today, but there was actually a place to pull over and park there, so I got to take a look around and take a bunch of pictures!!!

I'm using a friend's SFR Wifi hotspot account, but the connection isn't very good right now, so I'll have to upload the pictures tomorrow or something. (For those of you friends with me on Facebook, I have already uploaded them there when I was connected earlier to the internet via the ethernet cable in Lilian's room.)

Here's one picture just to show you how beautiful it is. More to come!

Mootivational Cow aime beaucoup la campagne, bien sûr.
