Bon soir!

I need to start coming up with more creative titles.  Anyhoo, I've been in Europe about a week now.  Yesterday was a rough day of rehearsal, mostly because we didn't really know our music (our own faults) and it was also a super long day, made worse by not know music and getting griped at for it.  I personally felt bad because I was being so unprofessional.  So, I stayed in instead of going out for Bastille Day (or 14 julliet en francais).  Today was still a rough day of singing, but we worked mostly on act I in staging and things were a lot more secure.  However, tonight will be another night of act II study.

So, on a lighter note, I took some pics today!  Let's start with when I got off the train at Quiberon and went to catch the ferry over to Belle-Ile.  This was the first beach I saw and it was FULL!

This is the Citadelle on the island.  It was an old fortress and it has a museum and hotel inside.  We rehearse and perform in here, but this year it's apparently really complicated because they have a wedding going on and also an art auction, with a few Monets actually!

That's what it looked like when we rode up on the ferry.  And now, for today's pics.  As I was leaving the Citadelle I decided I just had to take some pics of the water.  You can actually see the different depths of the ocean and way out in the distance you can see part of the mainland.  It's really quite beautiful.  You can definitely see the mainland of France at night when it's all lit up along the shore.  Maybe I'll get some of those pics soon!

Hope you all enjoy!
