The next morning Heinrich
went for a walk around the grounds of the Hotel. It was snowy and a
little chilly but it was still a beautiful day. He crossed a river
that ran in front of the hotel on a bridge with a wonderful French
countryside view.
At the other end of the bridge was a little island.
On the island was a fun looking playground. It was too snowy to play
today but Heinrich figured he would probably come back an other time
with guests.
Down by the river was a
stand of bamboo. With the snow, it made a very pretty scene. Heinrich
thought maybe this would be a good place for a panda bear. They
really like bamboo.
On the way back to the
Hotel Heinrich found a wall with several interesting pots hanging
from it.
The pots were a small herb garden that the hotel restaurant used for cooking in the winter. Even with the snow some of the herbs were still trying to grow.
Heinrich thought he would try to translate Thyme Citron, but then he realized the sign already said it in English – Lemon thyme.
The last pot had fennel.
Fennel is an herb that tastes kind of like licorice.
The hotel at Connelles was one of the nicest Heinrich had ever stayed in any where in the world. And it was certainly the least expensive.
