July 17, 2007 Escargot does not taste like chicken

Had a slightly relaxed day today, eating breakfast about 930. From there I went to do laundry with my room mate Justin. Some of my clothes were a little stiff to say the least, from the salt water. After studying the laundry machine for sometime, I finally figured out how to actually wash my clothes with water, but most of the soap didn't make it in. The mate turned out to be a hot spot for our group, Lindsey the tour guide showed up too, and got to take advantage of my mishap with the soap dispenser. After a quick chat with Lindsey, Justin and I took a walk to the beach to see what the girls in our group were going to do the rest of the day. They wanted to stay at the beach all day so we decided to see the castle(Colline du Château) and try some of the local cuisine on the way. As we headed towards the castle, we stopped at an open air restaurant, and I had pasta with mushroom cream sauce and ... escargot, and surprisingly enough, it didn't taste like chicken, but it was quite good. --Dinner LeDiche -- MonoPrix --
