Day 12: Carcassonne

Today we headed to the castle where they filmed Robin Hood!

The first thing we did after breakfast at the hotel was drive to the village/town by the castle. We got into small groups, were give 7 euros each, and was told to buy lunch in FRENCH with this money. My group was Aubrie, David, Nick, Heaven, and Brianna. We got some very good bread at a bakery, but had horrible pizza at some restaurant. I had one bite, and was done! After that gross lunch..we were walking back to our meeting spot, and we ran into ms. bostick. She told us to go to The Picnic and get some crepes! So we did! It was amazing! We all got Nutella crepes, and they were very very good. 
Im happy I was able to get real crepes in France!

After that, we (like always) walked to where we were going. Our local guide talked to us about the history of the castle but I dont remember anything. We were shown the different "layers" of the castle/kingdom, and the walls/towns surrounding the middle. We went into the church, which as very beautiful, with a huge shell (like ocean shell) and the stained glass windows.  The gargoyles were actually pretty creepy... so they did their job. 
Jason was being a creep the whole time taking pictures of me and thane. Thane and I tried to get him back by taking pictures of him, but we were never able to.  

After our local guide left, we had some free time! Megan bought a table cloth, Dylan was mistaken for being gay because he put a pink girl case on his phone and the owner of the store said "he likes boys, no?" and meg and heath said "we're not sure" and then Dylan puts a zebra one of his phone, and then either meg or the owner goes "definitely!" and it was HILARIOUS! Dylan didn't even know what was going on until we told him after we left the store. 

I got an amazing raspberry sorbet, and watched the boys play with swords, shields and bows for 5 year olds. Some/most of the boys bought a sword or dagger, they thought it was cool. 

After the castle we went to the new hotel, where I roomed with Haylie and Briana. I Went down to the pool, and watched Dylan and Heath goof around.
