Let's Shop!

Much to my surprise, my anxiety about everything being closed today was unfounded.

Everything was open!

Even though we had been shopping yesterday to lay in some supplies, we couldn’t resist stopping in to the covered market to have a look see. We weren’t disappointed!

Everywhere I looked there was a bounty of goods just waiting to be tasted! It was terrific to see a vendor who just sells potatoes (you need just the right ones to make frites!). There was a charcuterie with an amazing array of meats, a fromagerie selling every kind of cheese, as well as green grocers, bakers (both bread and pastries – both very different arts here).

Despite having a very good night, I was just beat today, so I sacrificed sun tanning time this aft for a nap (I know, boring – but hey, I’m on holidays). I actually thought twice about going up on the roof top anyway – it was so windy today (with the wind blowing in off the sea) that I think I might have just ended up back in Paris before anyone found me again! Today was also filled with a few of the more mundane things that occur when you rent an apartment… these included vacuuming and doing some laundry.

On the way home we discovered a new restaurant by the beach – Called “Gordon’s” of all things!

I also can’t believe that we’ve been here a week all ready!

Paul is feeling much better, thanks. He even made me supper tonight of meat balls in a peppercorn sauce along with sautéed new potatoes and asparagus! For dessert we had treated ourselves to a tart au citron and a slice of flan nature (more or less a custard tart – but even better!).

Today’s weather was sunny and VERY windy, with a high of 22C. Unfortunately, it’s supposed to be a rainy week end! The audio in my videos today isn’t bad – it’s sooooo windy, it’s just about all you can hear!
