Crepes in Quimper

Scooted across Brittany to Quimper. So far, this is one strange town, completely over-run with tourists, but not that much to see. They have a nice cathedrale, a nice Musee de beaux-arts, and... pottery. Quimper is famous for la faience - a regional pottery with breton scenes painted on it. It seems like every English tourists with a love for precious things is in town right now. You can tour a factory, visit stores, visit the faience museum - just about anything to do with the pottery. The real stuff is expensive, but the knock-offs are everywhere. This is also the first town where people have responded in English right away, assuming that we don't understand french. After a few more responses from us in french, people seem happy to switch back, but it wasn't even like this in Paris. Just about the only thing to eat around here is crepes, with just about anything you can imagine inside. I'm verging on crepes overload. The cidre is still excellent though.

After this, it's one more city - Carnac, and that's it. It's always a bit sad when you can see the end of a trip coming, especially since I've been gone almost six weeks. The only good thing is that I won't be acquiring anymore paper. With something like 10 cities worth of brochures and information, I can barely lift my suitcase anymore. I would ship it back if it wasn't so expenive, so for now I'll bite the bullet and struggle through a few more train trips. Oh, and I'm going to Sweden for 5 days. Random, i know, but my family is there for vacation, and I'm meeting up for the end of their trip. Sorry for the lack of pictures (I left the cord in my suitcase), but I'll add them soon.
