Always Room for Ice Cream!

So today was a good day in the end! Unfortunately due to uncooperative weather, our YMCA volunteer activity was postponed until tomorrow... however, the sun did eventually come out and my host family took advantage of it.

Today's outing with the Camp du Jour was to Acrosport Barani in Laval, a gymnastics center. Although as a camp leader I could only do few activities, it was a fun place with a lot of different things to do, like getting pictures with Tarzan!

As for the title, in lieu of not having to rush dinner, we were able to go to La Cremiere du Pont, the ice cream shop that I walk past twice a day almost every day as I go to and from work. This was my first time inside and it was paradise. There is a bakery as well, and check out all the cool cupcakes they sell!

Bienvenue!

the cool interior!

 

We had some really yummy ice cream... brownie flavor is something you can never go wrong with! There is also a gate that leads to this extra seating area over looking the river. Actually, La Cremiere du Pont translates to "The Creamery by the Bridge", which is true because it is right at the corner of a bridge.

Tomorrow will be the make up for today's missed activity..until then, here is the song "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole. If you are wondering what the relevance is, maybe it's because this trip currently is and will always be "unforgettable"? That could work, but the real reason is that it's been stuck in my head the past two days playing on repeat. Oh well, it's a nice song, so I don't mind.

 



 

A Demain et bonne nuit!
