Université de Nantes Aviron


I just went on a long walk with two other students on the exchange, Sebastian Joanna, down to the rowing club. The river they row on is called the Edre and you can keep going for like 30km. The club is pretty big, they have way more boats than Hanlan and they're super organized. Each boat has it's personal label on the rack and matching labelled oars at the back of the boat house. I was impressed. The head coach Gael showed me around and said that I could come by tomorrow and start rowing. Everyone seems really nice there and I can't wait to get on the water tomorrow!

I'm jealous! I only have access to ergs here in Ankara, no lovely water or boats. I did teach a bunch of other interns how to erg yesterday though, so maybe we'll start a rowing revolution!
