Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I woke up in Saint-Jean-d'Angely, right? The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and I thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I hit up Rue de la République for my morning coffee. You know, the usual spot. The barista, Marie, she’s cool, but today she was like a tornado of chaos. I ordered my usual, a café crème, and she spills half of it. I’m like, “Great, just what I needed.” But hey, I laughed it off. It’s all good, right?
Then, I decided to stroll down to the Place du Marché. It’s this cute little square where they have a market on Saturdays. I was pumped to grab some fresh veggies. But guess what? The market was a total ghost town! I mean, where is everyone? Turns out, they moved it to the other side of town. Ugh! So, I had to trek all the way to Rue des Écoles. My legs were like, “Dude, what are you doing?”
Finally, I get there, and it’s packed! People everywhere, shouting, haggling. I love it! But then, this old dude cuts in front of me. I’m like, “Seriously, bro?!” I wanted to shove him, but I just rolled my eyes. I mean, come on, it’s Saint-Jean-d'Angely, not a rugby match!
After that, I was feeling a bit hangry, so I hit up this little crêperie on Rue de la Liberté. Best crêpes ever! I ordered a Nutella one, and while I was waiting, I saw this cute dog. Like, the fluffiest thing ever! I was about to pet it when the owner yanked it away. Rude! I mean, who doesn’t want to pet a fluffy dog?
So, I finally get my crêpe, and it’s heavenly. I’m sitting there, enjoying life, when suddenly, it starts pouring! Like, outta nowhere! I’m scrambling to find cover, and I duck into this little shop on Rue de la République. It’s a vintage store, and I’m browsing through old records. I find this gem from the ‘70s. I’m like, “This is my new vibe!”
But then, the rain stops, and I’m back out on the street. I decide to head to the Abbaye Royale. It’s this stunning old abbey, and I love the history. But guess what? It’s closed for renovations! I’m like, “Are you kidding me?!” I just wanted to soak in some culture, you know?
So, I’m wandering around, feeling a bit defeated. But then, I hear music. I follow the sound and find this street performer on Rue de la République. He’s playing the guitar, and it’s actually really good! I stop, and for a moment, everything feels right. I even throw him a couple of euros.
As the sun sets, I’m walking back home, and I can’t help but smile. Saint-Jean-d'Angely, you crazy little town. You’ve got your quirks, but I wouldn’t trade you for anything. Even with the old dude, the rain, and the closed abbey. You keep me on my toes!
So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, but hey, that’s life, right? Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
