Weather forecasts take on extra significance here in Bouin. Sure I am “en vacances” and prefer clear weather for exploring our new surroundings but the weather also influences our capacity to access the internet and to blog. You see, we are using our host’s wifi connection but (due to the thick stone walls of the buildings) the only place that we can pick up a signal is out in the courtyard. It’s already a rather chilly place to sit while checking e-mails in the morning and evening but rain would definitely make blogging tricky…For the record, the forecast is for wet stuff.
