Mini-Golf Californienne

It was one of those weird kind of days with a lot of waiting.  Yesterday a car drove past with a sign advertising 1/2 price at the mini-golf between 10 and 3.  When we arrived at 11:30 it turned out that the golf doesn't open until 3 (untiil 1am!) and no mention of 1/2 price anything.  So after having waited for the bus to get us there, we had to wait for the bus to get us home.  You can imagine the long faces and the discussions of "if we only had a car here" that went on while we were waiting.  We ate lunch and then went back to Agde to get a purse that Anna's been going on about.  Of course, she didn't remember where it was, or "maybe it was in Beziers?" and so we sat in a cafe waiting for the bext bus to come.  We did get to see a lock in action on the Canal du Midi, one of the only round locks in existence.

By the time we got back to the mini-golf we could only play one round before having to catch the next bus. (Anna won, for those of you who keep score)  Being someone who hates to drive and park I am entirely sold on public transport and am accepting of the inconveniences.  This trip has made all the kids convinced that they will each have their own form of private transport as soon as they are able.

We're off to a night concert on the Place de 14 Juillet now (10pm).  Tomorrow the town celebrates Independence Day.  Look out.  We'll be having fun then (no transport involved).
