After the market, we all loaded up on a boat that took us up the Maine river. Here are two images of students on this boat ride, each depicting a slightly different type of enjoyment. The game is very old and played only in this area of France. It involves rolling special wooden balls, weighted with a lead wrap, on a curved surface. The object is to get the ball to stop close or next to a white ball on the other side of the playing area.
Serious players spend a lot of time perfecting their performance.
After the game demonstration, an aperitif was served. The Illinois State students had a little something to do with this.
