so when people ask me what i did last weekend i can honestly say i hung out with a biker gang and biked around the french countryside with a random french guy. it sounds funny but that is what i did last weekend, let me explain.
so my host family is part of this local motorcycle club and every year they do a moto rally (a kind of traveling obstacle course) this year was my host family's turn to plan it so they invited me and Corrin along to see what it's like. so bright and early Saturday morning about 50 motorcycles arrived at the farm, most of them were what i call street bikes there was onlu one harley and abunch of really fancy BMW touring bikes. to start the rally the theme was potatoes, so every team had pick 3 potatoes that they had to keep for the whole day and do various activities with them. there were several stops on the that we drove (in a car) with my host family to, it had a lot of waiting around for the bikers to show up but wasn't too bad. For lunch we had a picnic that included oysters which are slimy and taste like the sea (salty). at night we all arrived at a high school (it had living quarters) where we had supper and partied it up (ok i went to bed pretty early). in the morning our host family said that they found some people to take us on the "promenade". So i hopped on the back of this motorcycle and all 50 bikes took off on a little ride through the countryside which was really awesome and then we stopped (where else) but at a winery had a tour of their winecave (it really was a cave) and tasted some wine hopped back on the bikes and headed (very quickly) back to the high school for lunch. so a pretty interesting weekend all around and something i would never get to do at home. so about me buying a motorcycle when i get home...
