A Menhir for your thoughts.

Driving towards Carnac in the south of Brittany was a WOW moment, as we rounded a corner and came across fields full of menhirs, like an army of warriors frozen in position. I hadn't realized that there would be so many of them or that they would have so much impact.

There are three or four fields just like this and it is possible to just walk around among the stones, touching them and wondering about the whys and wherefores of their existance....well, other than that Obelisk the Menhir delivery guy had been around in the night!

We enjoyed a jambon and fromage sandwich (French Style) in the charming church square in Carnac - then scoffed some even more delicious Breton pastries. At this stage I can't recall what they were called but they were like a doughnut pastry filled with yummy apple and then dusted with suger and shaped like a Cornish Pastie. Mmmmmmmmm
