Le vin, le fromage, et le film court

Today was a pretty exciting day for me. I started by waking up early and finally going on a run for the first time since I've arrived in France. I ate my usual breakfast which involves about a half of a loaf of bread with the best butter ever, made right here in Bretagne, and apricot jam. I also had a bowl of cereal today. I don't normally eat cereal(here) but I found it at the grocery store to go with my yogurt; it is a granola with mixed nuts and I think I prefer it with milk vs. yogurt. Delicious.

Some time later...

I went to an exposition/fair with a few friends. The fair, as it turns out, is very popular and is in Brest once during the winter and once during the summer. The reason behind it's popularity? Cheese, wine, sausage, chocolate, etc. and all kinds

of samples. I tried some extremely expensive and delicious foie gras, many different types of red and white wines, champagne, vodka, chocolate, every type of saucisson imaginable, cheese, pretzels, honey, and macaroons. Talk about a wonderful lunch.

After "lunch" I went to the Quartz, the theatre in Brest, where I saw a portion of the film festival(as advertised in the photo below) that is going on here in Brest. The title of the series of short films that I saw was "All you need is love".

I finished my day up by trying a new recipe for dinner. (See last post)

It was a pretty awesome day.
