Carnac, Vannes, And Menhirs

Mysterious Carnac, on the coast, and Vannes… our last stops.

Discovering Stonehenge

Walking in the middle of nowhere, we saw old stones everywhere.

We also stopped in Vannes, on the way back to Nantes.

Back to Canada this Thursday… Anyone to help us shovel one month’s worth of snow in front of the house?

  1. We spent a couple of days at Carnac in 2004. It rained most of the time but it was amazing to walk among the menhirs and tune into our ancestry. Well, my ancestors don’t come from Carnac, rather near Grenoble, but 6000 years ago it would be the same culture.

  4. Are those stones just regular stones, not tombstones? They look eerily mystical.

    And speaking of snow, we had a couple of good weather recently. I don’t think you still have a pile, since my pile melted almost completely by now. But then, my front lawn faces the south so that helps.

  5. Hi Zhu,
    Those pictures are tempting me to go for a vacation.
    Consider building and staying in an igloo temporarily while showeling :)
