I thought the first photo was her until I looked closer. Yes, she was in college, but is graduated and married now. She started impersonating your namesake when she was still in high school.
That is the official name of the place. They have several parades each day. She has impersonated many other characters as well.
I have been in For little Jake, and others for the past 11 years.

Many of those crunchers came over during the great exodus from Grid.org in 2007, but I don't recognize RAMMIE. It looks like Base Camp made a trek there not long after its formation. There are only 4 active members left in the team.

Little Mermaid,

N'oublies pas le trek en cours :

Do not forget the current trek:







Et je reviens sur les Vikings en Bretagne, que j'ai fait quelques recherches pour en savoir plus. Je n'ai pas trouvé grand chose, que les Vikings étaient souvent appelés Normands. Il faut donc faire le tri entre ce qui concerne les Vikings, et les Normands 'les vrais'.

Une fois de plus, il y a des doutes sur les dates, mais on peut considérer que la Bretagne a été sous domination Vikings pendant le Xème siècle. Suivant les sources, les nobles et le clergé ont fuit en emportant leurs richesses, ou en les cachant. Ou alors les Bretons arrivaient tant bien que mal à les repousser. Je pense que la première option est la vraie.

On estime qu'entre 913-936/937 la Bretagne n'existe plus en tant que Pays en pratique, jusqu'à ce que Alain le Grand chassent les Vikings. Il est souvent considéré comme le premier Duc de Bretagne. Je ne peux pas vraiment en dire plus, que je découvre totalement cette partie de l'Histoire de la Bretagne (ma réponse d'hier ne me plaisait pas, il y avait forcément plus). Si tu veux en savoir plus, les deux sources les plus fiables et intéressantes que j'ai trouvée sont ici et ici. (Tout en Français, mais Google Trad' est notre ami)

Enfin, il y a un site archéologique à Plédran (Tout près de Rennes) d'une forteresse Viking. La preuve qu'ils étaient bien installé en Bretagne.



And I come back to the Vikings in Brittany, which I did some research to find out more. I did not find much, that the Vikings were often called Normans. So we must sort out between the Vikings, and the Normans 'the real'.

Once again, there are doubts about the dates, but we can consider that Brittany was under Vikings rule during the Xth century. According to the sources, the nobles and the clergy have fled by carrying away their riches, or by hiding them. Or the Bretons arrived somehow to repel them. I think the first option is the real one.

It is estimated that between 913-936/937 Brittany no longer exists as a country in practice, until Alain the Great hunt the Vikings. He is often considered the first Duke of Brittany. I can not really say more, that I totally discover this part of the History of Brittany (my answer yesterday did not please me, there was necessarily more). If you want to know more, the two most reliable and interesting sources I found are here and here. (All in French, but Google Trad 'is our friend)

Finally, there is an archaeological site in Plédran (near Rennes) of a Viking fortress. The proof that they were well settled in Brittany.

I don't talk much, as you can see at left, and I did come of my own free will.

Cheer

Hey LM, have you seen this movie?
