Yesterday was Bastielle day, and the entire country shuts down. So we took a trip to a mountain range north of Montpieller where we took a 5km canoe trip down a picturesque river carved from between two mountains.
We stopped along the river to eat lunch and swim in the river. After canoeing we had a little time to explore the mideval town and a few of us got lunch at a little restaurant on the side of a cliff which may or may not have just been a house with a large grill. I had delicious giant shrimp on a kebab, eyeballs and all, and I was taught by a new orlenian how to peel and eat. That evening we went down town to watch the fireworks and partake in Bastielle Day festivities.
