First Snowfall

Last weekend, while all the others went on a day trip to Lourdes, I stayed behind with JZ (my best friend here) and we enjoyed the first snow fall together!  After a nice, long walk -- it was really pretty magical on the mount -- we decided to build a little snowman together.  JZ constructed the body while I finished the head.  Here is what we created together:

 

 

Thanksgiving in France

We are all so far away from home ~ missing our family and friends ~ me included!  I am the lone Canadian, you see. That brings a special kind of isolation.  My family is so very far away.  God, I miss Canada!  God, I miss my family!  How many times have I played 'Hymns of the 49th Parallel'?  ...But on one special night here in Ambialet, when we all ~ Americans, French, and myself, the lone Canuck ~ came together to share and celebrate a Thanksgiving feast, I was able to put aside, at least temporarily, this deep longing in my heart to see my loved ones.  I'll share with you some of the photos I took of our very special Thanksgiving celebration held at Le Prieuré.  Not pictured here is Tim Perkins ~ our first toast went to him.

It seems fitting to include one famous 'Hymn of the 49th Parallel' here... Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", sung by the incredible k.d. lang. I think of my parents whenever I listen to it, because my mother loves Cohen, while my father loves the 'big-boned gal from southern Alberta.'  ;-)

Korres-Kings & Queens: Nefertiti

Geia sas se olous!

Γεια σας σε όλους!

(Hello everyone!)

Its been a while since i've had a chance to post since school & work have consumed my life but i wanted to do a quick review on the Korres Kings & Queens: Nefertiti body milk & shower gel.

Kings & Queens' Nefertiti is honey & made with natural products including of course real honey, which you can smell.

pro's:

smell-sweet honey

consistency-rich & smooth

gel is very luxurious

nice moisture that seems to last

con's:

the price is a little high for me $9 & $11-(i bought these off ebay)

i can't put this on before bed; i can smell it all night-too much for bed

I would repurchase the gel but probably not the lotion because i rarely use it.

Here is what Korres says about Kings & Queens:

Get ready like a royal, start the day like a sovereign, make like a monarch. Kings & Queens is a royal new body care range developed around the herbs and spices favored by the aristocracy of a bygone age.

Kings & Queens introduces Body Milks, Showergels, Body Butters, and Shimmering Body Milks, each with a story to tell. From Nefertiti Honey, inspired by the Egyptian Queen who used the Nectar as an indulgent beauty treatment, to Cinnamon, the spice beloved by Queen Isabella of Spain that prompted Columbus’s trip to discover the new world, the creators of Kings & Queens took inspiration from the preferred ingredients of yesteryear.

The line reflects the true decadence of royals past with an imaginative, modern twist. This fun, irreverent range of beauty products is for fashion, style and design conscious urbanites who are always on the lookout for an affordable statement choice.

Kings & Queens products are mineral oil-and paraben-free and enriched with “The Royal Mix,” a blend of Pomegranate, Blue Egyptian Lotus and Malachite extracts containing Hazelnut, Grape, Sunflower and Avocado Oils.

-Made in Greece

*For more info on the Blue Egyptian Lotus HERE is my post on it.

What Korres says about Nefertiti:

Nefertiti,
royal wife of an Egyptian Pharaoh, was depicted as an icon of beauty in her famous statue. She regularly used honey as a beauty treatment in order to live up to her name, which means
 "the beautiful woman has arrived".

This post goes nicely with my up-coming post about my ancestry that i recently found out; it will take me a bit more time to write it so i will tell you all about as soon as i can! (plus i am still discovering)

Kalo Savvatokyriako!

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο!

Have a nice weekend! 

History in Ambialet

For their year-end project, students have decided to a do a cultural history study, focusing on the traditions, cuisine, and local history of Ambialet.  Some of them (Becca, Melanie, Kerstin & Ed) chose to conduct interviews; they prepared several questions in French ahead of time. The others (Lauren, Shane & Gabe) decided to gather information on the history of Ambialet using written texts (see below).  We are so thankful to Mamie and Christiane, who generously shared their extensive knowledge of Ambialet with us, with great patience and good humour, and also to our wonderful hosts and translators, Margaret and Peter, who arranged more than one of these meetings for us!

Extreme Ear Pierce

Really brave people who do extreme piercing in her ear you try to see the picture below just how desperate they are her if you want to emulate them as well?? do not forget you have to think twice about doing it though you will not regret it later ...

My tooth just tipped over!!!

Most people think that its no big deal to get a tooth taken out. they will say things like "its just one tooth" and "I've got a ton more". Well, you do have a lot more teeth then just that one but this does NOT mean that getting a tooth out will not create many other problems in the mouth.

Some of the problems that can occur are as follows.

#1 The tooth that chews against the tooth you just took out will move up, or down, into the spot just vacated by the extracted tooth. This top tooth is moving down into the mouth.

#2 The teeth right next to the extracted one will begin to tip into the spot just vacated by the extracted tooth. These next two pictures were taken 5 years apart. The patients tooth tipped completely over and needed to be extracted.

Both of these can cause your bite to be thrown completely off and make chewing uncomfortable.

#3 As you chew hard and crunchy foods, they will pinch up against the gums where the tooth used to be.

Moral to the story is this.

If you can fix your teeth, then do it.

If you can't, then get the hole filled where the tooth used to be ASAP.

A Visit to Omaha Beach around Armistice Day

Let us remember all the fallen.

A Brothel-Bar in Nantes

After our visit to Omaha beach in Normandy, we (Mark, again) drove several hours south to Nantes, where we were supposed to meet up with the other two cars at an obscure, little hotel somewhere on the Île de Nantes.  Well, we had no road map of the city, nor a GPS, and were given only vague directions (“go as far as you can, then turn right… find a bridge… turn right at a rotary highway…”).  Needless to say, we got lost quickly.  We must have circled back over that bridge three or four times, before Jen, in a flash of brilliance, suggested that we stop at a bus shelter to view the city map posted there.  We did, and, having oriented ourselves, found our way to the hotel quickly.  Now the hotel was not ****, or even **…  But it was comfortable, and family-run.  After checking in, we walked a block up the street to a Middle Eastern food restaurant, run by a very hospitable family from Armenia.  I had a Heineken with my dinner, which turned out to be a very good decision, because our plan to enjoy a brew at a bar later on never happened!     

More to come! 

Le Mont Saint Michel

After our holidays, we met up again in Paris, and drove several hours north to the coast of Normandy.  Oh what stunning countryside!  I kept thinking to myself that, if I win the lottery, I will buy an old farm house here, renovate it, and settle there for the rest of my life.  While I was imagining this, and as we (Mark, Debbie & Jen) were driving through picturesque little coastal villages, suddenly there appeared, like a mirage in the distance, a singular mountain in the water, with a church sitting prominently on top of it, as if it was a natural outgrowth of that rock.  The image was completely out of place, not in keeping with the picturesque farmland, as if it was some vestige left by intergalactic visitors.  Much to my surprise, we would spend the night there, on that rocky isle.  Although I had seen postcards of Le Mont Saint Michel, it was so much more impressive to stand before it in person. Once surrounded by water on all sides, it is now reachable by car thanks to a man-made causeway:

 

Several centuries ago, I suppose one had to ride a horse into the water to get to it.  In the Early Middle Ages, all that was there was a huge granite rock that jutted out from the sea.  At that time, it was apparently inhabited by hermits, about which we know next to nothing.  According to legend, in the eighth century, the Bishop of Avranches (a nearby town that lies to the southeast) was visited in a dream by the Archangel Michael, who told him to "build a church upon the rock."  Presumably, he sought a means of enhancing the stature of his diocese by building a pilgrimage church.  The initial foundation was made possible by slave labour.  Prisoners were used to quarry granite on the mainland, and haul large slabs of it up via wheel & pulley to the top of the mountain. The bishop did not live to see the completion of the church. It would take another five centuries before it was finally done:

View of abbey from the causeway.  Gothic spire with Archangel Michael.

A Benedictine community of monks became established on the rock.  They had very close ties with the Dukes of Normandy, who must have largely financed the construction of the abbey and church.  When the Normans invaded England in 1077 (everyone remembers this date!), the monks of Mont Saint Michel supported their efforts.  In return, William the Conqueror gave them a large parcel of land on the coast of England, in Cornwall, where they built an abbey on a rocky island similar to their own. It is now called "Saint Michael's Mount."

Mont Saint Michel was later fortified with defensive
walls and towers in the fourteenth & fifteenth centuries.  It was one of the few places in France which the English could not conquer during the Hundred Year's War.  When you're there, it's plain to see why the English could not take the mount ... even if they had managed to cross the water and arrive at its base safely, what awaited them was an incredibly steep climb up to the top ... with large walls blocking the path. Because Mont Saint Michel was inviolable during the Hundred Year's War, it is regarded in France today as an important national symbol.
