We had a lazy day today and decided to just go for a walk before dinner. Walking down the street, Cory saw a sign that said "Bar, Billiards, Bowling" so we had to investigate this. Yup, in the back of the bar was a bowling alley--sort of a bowling alley. There were eight miniature lanes that looked just like a bowling alley only smaller. Each lane was about half the length of a US regulation lane and the balls were about half the size of a US bowling ball. The pins were little too. Each pin had a string on top of it. When it was knocked over, the string pulled it up into the pinsetter. There were about six or so kids and a mother there bowling. The lanes were coin operated. You put a 5 euro coin in the slot for each person and could bowl for an hour. It was really funny and cute. The kids were having a blast. The scoring was just like US bowling and automatically showed up on the screen above the lane. I guess the French do like to bowl! 

We went to a little bar further up the road to watch the soccer game and have some wine . We're becoming soccer fans. Neither of us had ever watched soccer before, but we're really enjoying it. We're looking forward to the next USA game.
