French road trip.
This past weekend, I went on a road trip with David and Sheila (my Spanish friends). We started on Friday, driving ELEVEN hours to Poitiers. Poitiers is historically very important because the Moorish invasion of Europe was turned back there many centuries ago. The three of us went to see Futuroscope, the theme park of the future....
Basically, it consisted of many 3D movies, some with moving chairs that thrash their occupants. It was a fun park to see, though I don't think I'll ever make the trip back.
After leaving Futuroscope, we decided to split up the drive home between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Due to our budget, we ended up driving around Southern France until 3 AM looking for a cheap motel with space for us. Needless to say, it wasn't the most fun thing I've ever done.
On Sunday, we stopped by Carcossonne, a smaller French city close to the border with Spain. It has a magnificent castle:
Inside the castle walls is a small city. Seeing it made the trip worthwhile - it's a beautiful place.
