Oh la vache! ( = Holy Cow...more or less)

As I rode the train from Rennes to Redon yesterday, I realized that I have never seen so many cows in my life as I did on the way there. Allaire cannot be reached by public transportation, so I had to pay 15€ for a taxi from Redon. The driver dropped me off just past town hall, and I proceeded to look for the local bike salesman, who would be showing me some apartments. The town center is really one street lined with stores, so it didn't take long to find Monsieur Lucas. I'm taking the first apartment he showed me, and I'm really excited about it. It's not big, but there is a bedroom, a room that counts as a living room, dining room, and kitchenette, and a bathroom. It's also brand new, and at most a 2 minute walk from school.

My landlord might just be the nicest man in the world. Once he showed me the apartment, he made a bunch of administrative phone calls for me to try to figure out what I could do about getting housing aid and a residency card. Those of you who know anything about French bureaucracy will realize the magnitude of this gesture. He even took me to the CAF so that he could explain that I needed aid and figure out how to get it, and drove me back to the train station in Redon so that I didn't have to pay for a taxi. Talk about the kindness of strangers. I'm really looking forward to living there, starting in October.

For now, I'm enjoying my time in Rennes. I'm staying with Nina, which is a lot of fun, and I've seen Greg and Claire a bit, too. My internet access is pretty limited, so I may not post for awhile. I'm borrowing Nina's login info at one of the schools, so I'm going to get going. A bientôt!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
