La Fête Nationale (Bastille Day) but we will lay low. Decided it was probably not a good time to venture out into crowds of merry makers. I really want to work hard on scrapbooking but I still haven't even caught up on this trip we are on! However, I have learned how to count to 12 in French, so I am feeling a tiny bit accomplished. We heard our hosts going in and out a few times but we did not interact with them.
Late lunch yesterday was fresh pasta pesto ravioli. We still had some mushroom so we made a sauce for the ravioli out of those, sliced up, sautéed in olive oil and butter with Herbs de Provence and garlic. Fresh parmesan grated on top. It was delicious! We were still full late evening so we had just a brioche toasts with cheese spread. That was enough.
Late evening, around 11p we could hear fireworks but even when we went outside to look, we could not see anything. Quite different than at home but we are pretty remote here. We know there was to be a large celebration in Blaye, supposedly wonderful with the fireworks over the river.
