Island Living


What do teachers do when they've got no one to teach? Go on vacation, that's what. 



And let me tell you, it's a rough life the Sanders have got going on right now... 


We're on the Ile de Groix, a tiny little island off the coast of Brittany (northwest France). Matt's family has been coming here for ages and I for one, am more than happy to carry on the family tradition. 


It's not as popular or well known as places like the French Riviera or Corsica, but let me tell ya, that just adds to the charm... Here's the main port where the ferry from the mainland comes in a few times a day... 


The island is covered with boats...especially sail boats. 











And here's a little randomness for ya: This is an old clothes washing well--there's a few of them all over the island hanging out from the good ol' pre-washing machine days... 


And just to add even more randomness for you, watch out for the stinging nettles, because they grow rampant here... 


But then so does fresh mint...just don't go mistaking the two when making your mohitos...
