(more memories of my French summer 2013)
And in Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge everything was completely different! My sleeping place was a real mess and when I wanted to shower, I needed plenty of time to find all my stuff. Still, I'm remembering that place with so much love. In our dorm there was always something going on - pillow battles, night gatherings with flashlights in our hands or gossiping in our pajamas. The walls were decorated with reproductions of well-known painters. I remember I had 'Cottages' by Van Gogh right above my sleeping bag.
From the dormitory you could walk out on the terrace where we placed a table and a couple of chairs for us to read magazines, drink coffee, play cards or make parties. Also, there were a lot of bicycles which locals kindly gave us. I liked to take one of them (usually bright pink), put my camera in a basket and go take pictures of sunset above the sunflower fields, narrow streets of cobblestone, somebody's door with flowers on it.. It was uncredibly beautiful there, just go and catch.
