Before I begin, there are no bears in this story. This story has one simply purpose: to convey to you the coche-marre –ish (nightmarish) bathroom situations I experienced on the weekend trip. Situation #1, Hotel Bayeux: there is a bathtub, NOT a shower, no curtain, and some shower head looking thing attached to the knobs. I turn on the water..and I begin turning the knob for the shower head on a cord. It is definitely not working. I feverishly start twisting it as I do not like bathtubs, and above all those in a hotel- who knows whose been in there. I cannot, for the life of me, get the shower head-thingy to turn on. So I end up sitting on my feet, somewhat contortionist style in the bathtub, and strategically placing my soapy hair under the faucet (which I might add was sort of blocked by the shower head thingy). Long story short- you had to pull the knob- not twist it and had it not been for my friend Rachel I think I would have ended looking like a bear (I totally lied to you about the bears).
Situation #2, Mont Saint Michel: Rachel and I are sharing a room again. Like all French bathrooms- there is the shower and there is the toilette and sink in separate rooms. The shower looks like a closet. It smells suspiciously like pee (no flip flops either), but Luckily this one is not a bathtub. I get in (6:50 am). Turn it on…shower head is working, things are looking up. Non. Non. Non. The shower head falls off the cord. The cord attached to it, like a viscious metal snake, is flying everywhere due to the water pressure. Pain. Turn the water off, I’m thinking this sort of thing does NOT happen in a Hilton. Skillfully reattach the shower head and turn the water on low. This lasts about 2-3 minutes and I start the process over. All is sort of well again. I go to put the shower head in its holder and the bar holding the showerhead falls over. Let me repeat that. It fell over. Does Money Pit ring a bell to anyone else?
I am sad to say that the pictures are not working in Macdo. I tried to create a kodak gallery and it was in the process of uploading for about 30 minutes. I think I will have to try at one of my friend's houses that has high speed internet. I'm sorry I let you all down. I'll some how redeem myself, je vous dis!
Also, I realize I did not really talk about my weekend in Normandie but I have to go babysit...désolée

Just to make a comment....I HATE bathtubs too, so I feel your pain.
I guess it can't be happiness and croissants all the time........
Think of all the useful plumbing skills that you are learning!
I wish that I could feel some of your pain, but you are in Europe, so deal with it! Do you feel my jealousy?
