Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
I was super stoked to sleep in. Since I didn't have the responsibilities of the farm, I thought this trip would be a wonderful opportunity to sleep in. Unfortunately, I woke up at 7:12. I tried to go back to sleep, but someone was snoring, and it wasn't Guapito, so I couldn't hit them to... Continue Reading →
This was the day that all of the dressage fanatics were waiting for. The stadium was absolutely packed when I arrived. I had decided that I wanted to take the shuttle. It gave me an opportunity to talk to one of the employees of the travel company to see if I could secure a ride... Continue Reading →
After we left the endurance competition, we headed over to Mont Saint-Michel since it wasn't too far away. My traveling companion had already been there before, and she warned me about how crowded and busy it was going to be. It was her idea to go visit it, and I'm sure glad we went. It...

Since it wasn't raining (apparently rain is a thing in Normandy?) I decided to venture out to explore the small town of Arromanches Les Bains. I also really needed toothpaste, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to look for some. Shouldn't be too hard, right? To make it short, I didn't find... Continue Reading →
It's amazing how much I don't remember when there isn't something to jog my memory. Although this was the first day that we had tickets for the World Equestrian Games, my traveling companion had no interest in going because it was the first of two days for the qualifying rounds. I don't care enough about... Continue Reading →
Unlike when I was in Paris, I was not quite ready to leave Saumur. It had snuggled its way into my heart. Alas, it was time for the next leg of the adventure! We finished our last breakfast at the B&B and headed off. I had really wanted to enter the castle of Saumur, but... Continue Reading →
When we woke up in the morning, I felt horrible. I had major cramps, I was incredibly sore from the ill-fitting tack from the two days prior, and it was raining. We were supposed to get up really early and go on a 4-hour trip with the ponies. I didn't want to go. I told... Continue Reading →
In the morning, we went on a 2-hour long ride in the countryside on more ponies. We had different ponies this time, though still with ill-fitting tack. This time, it gave me cuts on my legs. I chatted up a young girl who flattered me by telling me that my French was good. She was... Continue Reading →
Our trip to Saumur was actually supposed to be a riding holiday, but we didn't ride until the afternoon on our first full day in Saumur, so we decided to do a tour of one of the underground wineries in the morning. During our walk, we passed by this enchanting place: I don't know why... Continue Reading →
As lovely as Paris was, I was ecstatic to see more of France. My traveling companion had decided to rent a vehicle (under the guise that it was more economical than taking the trains. It turns out she just gets really car sick if she's not driving.) I wasn't allowed to drive because the extra... Continue Reading →
