It has really cooled off today, with a breeze as well. Another quiet day of scrapbooking for me, writing for Stuart, and other computer work. In the afternoon we went to Carrefour for a few items. We found a bottle of wine from Fort Medoc, even on sale, and got that to have with our leftover lasagna for dinner. We saw a lot of Bastille Day decorations at the store before. We wanted to get those today but alas, they were all gone. We did find a little flag and bought that.
I also took a few photos of the fish market that is part of Carefour.
After dinner we were playing cards at the kitchen table when Fanny's cousin Allan(?) stuck his head through our open window and invited us out to have wine with them. How fun! We also met 2 of their 3 children. A young son Maximilian, maybe 10-11 and a daughter 18, who we didn't ever get the name quite right. She was a delight, perhaps because she spoke fluent English? Anyway, she went to school for a year in Buffalo, NY area. Paul and Fanny have lived here for 20 years. It was an interesting chat with them. The wine they had was from Perpignan! Some friends of theirs moved there a few years ago and started their business. Domaine Mas Terra. Paul's grandfather is from Perpigan! I was stunned to hear this and told them of my ancestry from the same area. He also told me the correct way to pronounce "Brial" (Bre-al-lay) is the closest I can think of phonetically. Back to cards and called it a day.
