Dromomania: Kenavo!

Kenavo!

The Physical Geography of Carnac (Karnag) France

Bonjour! Kenavo! Hello!
 My name is Itzel-Marine Gourmelon. I was born in Mexico from French parents, and do my best to maintain my French culture and language. I am an anthropology major and film minor with the goal to one day make travelogues and documentaries.




(Right) My adventures in Singapore from summer 2010. 



The place I have chosen to follow throughout physical geography is Carnac, France, in the region of Bretagne (Bretagne is the region where my Gourmelon ancestors came from).

The reason I chose Carnac is because my family has gone there on vacation for generations, and I have gone there every summer of my life, so far. It is a place of great mystery and wonder to me and contains a vast physical and human history. Carnac is famous for its standing rock alignments (Menhirs) and Dolmens, but it is also a coastal region that has had a dramatic change in vegetation in the past century.

So, I invite you to follow me through an adventure in the fascinating physical geography of Karnag!

(This is my first blog, but I think I will keep it as a travel-blog even after the semester!)
