Exploring around town

Today we finished planting the potatoes. It was hard work, but kindof fun. We also spent a few hours weeding, which, if you get in the right spot where you can kneel comfortably and the sun is shining, it's quite relaxing. It got to around 20 degrees today, and the sun was bright, there were a ton of birds singing, the tlips were in bloom, and it felt great to be outside all day. We ate lunch outside again today in the front courtyard, and ate sliced potatoes in a vinaigrette, fresh bread and Camambert cheese, wine, and salad. I forgot to mention earlier that every morning at 9 o'clock, there is a long bread bag with plastic handles that we hang outside the front gate. the baker comes around in a truck and drops a fresh baguette in the bag. the nearest bakery is a fez km away, so this is the best way to get fresh bread everyday.
Before supper today, the Australians and I walked through Sacy-le-petit (the town we're staying in), and there were mostly just houses. "Downtown" consists of a deli, a phone booth, and a bus stop. The bus stop has one bus which co,es twice a day: once at 7am, and again at 7pm. We continued on to the nearest town, Grandfresnoy, which is 2 km away. We looked around at the houses, the general store and the bakery, and bought some delicious pastries for super cheap.
