While there, Denise, Emilie, Marlou and Marisela had a chance to take a look at the English bookstore and had a lovely cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day they met Paul at the train station to pick up our new arrival Elizabeth, who was surprised and happy to see such a big welcoming committee. However the biggest surprise was yet to come, for all the volunteers had been invited to Jean-Michel and Indira\u2019s house to a lunch f\u00eate! Jean-Michel and Indira had prepared a succulent meal that included pate, mussels, locally grown chicken and fries. It was the first time for Emilie eating mussels, and she said to enjoy them quite a lot. So everyone was happy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/IMG_1700-300x224.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1017\" title=\"IMG_1700\" src=\"http:\/\/lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/IMG_1700-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/IMG_1700-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/IMG_1700-401x300.jpg 401w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/IMG_1700.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After lunch, Elizabeth headed out with Paul to LG, while the rest of the volunteers had a tour of Jean-Michel and Indira\u2019s property and then decided to walk back to LG.On the way, they ran into an old Roman wall, which is thought to be the remains of a temple.
