After some excellent days in Paris (even though Arne only got through 1/3 of the War Museum...) we have settled down in this small and obscure village somewhere in Champagne. More famous for its sparkling wine than its YWAM (Youth with a mission) base, it's still a very good place for us to be. Right honey?
Of course, kjekken...
So, what are we doing here? Wasn't this supposed to be vacation?!
We have the privilege to be volunteering at the base where our fellow Norwegian and Kristkirken folks, Vidar and Elisabeth with kids, are living and serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Our project is to clean and fix a wall, pluss painting the fence on it. Let's have a quick look
Guess which parts that have been cleaned... Neat, isn't it?

St. Emilion
Thursday and friday we were in a beautiful village, St. Emilion.
Our good friends, Faith & Luc, showed us this charming village with lots of narrow streets, nice shops, beautiful old buildings, winecellars, vineyards etc etc...
We had a romantic night at one of the many vineyard guesthouses, and its passionate owner showed us the vineyard and winecellar, and he arranged a session of winetasting for us. Here's some pictures, and (of course) another video :)

Bordeaux
We arrived in Bordeaux wednesday night after a long day with travelling. We were welcomed by Luc and Marc at the trainstation and we drove to Pompignac (aprox half an hour driving from Bordeaux centre), and we met our great hostfamily; the Gischlers!
Now we have allready been here more than a week having a lot of fun together with great people. Talking partly french, partly english and finishing off with hand language we have been able to communicate quite well, even joking around, having some pretty good laughs :)
Well, what have we been up to? Shopping, youth meeting, EATING, churchmeeting, tabletennis, EATING, seeing Arnes old university, reading, resting, being with great people, visiting some pretty impressive sights...
Check this out for example; "mirroir de l'eau", "vannspeilet":
and this: Dune du Pyla - a huge sand dune of 60mill m3 at the Atlantic coast *WAOW*
We will come back with more later...
Now we're going for St. Emilion, a small, very typical French village... More about that later :)
