From Europe #6- Thursday Night Skate Video, Cheese & More Cheese, Meeting Francois And Marie

I’ve been taking my training quite seriously. To take a break from training and relax with friends, Morgane and I started taking part in Nante’s Thursday Night Skate.

Last Thursday’s skate was ‘water fight night’ (splatch), where people brought water guns, water balloons, pails of water, scuba diving suits, flippers, and more so they can continually spray and splash each other for 2 hours. See photos here.

You can see my video here- 2008-07-24 Nantes Thursday Night Skate- or watch below-


Morgane (right) looking at some of the cheese selections at the E. Leclerc supermarket (Atlantis location). The French- at least here in Nantes- have an incredible selection of cheese


This pack of Camembert cheese spent a few hot days in Morgane’s backpack. She had no idea it was there. I don’t know how it ended up in the pocket that she never opens :) Hehehe. It fermented in the heat and fermented in the night. Earlier today while at the track, Morgane endlessly complained about her bag’s smell. She emptied her bag, blaming her socks for the awful smell… until she finally found the fromage… and then she attacked me


The gang admires racing pictures taken by Francois and Marie- Yann Guyader (in blue t shirt) ended up going home with some fantastic shots- I was really glad to finally meet Francois and Marie who have taken many beautiful pictures. Marie is wearing the white shirt and Francois is wearing the blue costume


Thursday Night Skate- water fight nigth; these guys carted a shopping cart filled with water so they could easily re-arm their water pistols


Cecilia Leboeuf gets ready to skate while Francois and Marie converse with Maxime Provost


Cheese at E. Leclerc…


and even more cheese at E. Leclerc…


…and even more selection!


Anytime the Thursday Night Skate stopped by a water fountain, everyone went crazy and filled up all their water containters
