Mombrier July 22

It looks like it will be another cool day here. It says it will be 75F but with the constant breeze it feels cooler. We finished off the baguette for breakfast! Not a crumb was wasted. We are already plotting our return! Laundry is in the washer, today just linens. 

 We took the short drive back to Mombrier and decided to stop at the cemetery that we have driven by several times. It has a stone fence all around it but the gate was unlocked. In fact it is not all that old. There were a few newer mausoleums, 2 brand new without any names yet. The oldest one I found was 1903. Most had big mausoleums with family names, with one or multiple remains. What was strange to me were the multiple glass and metal plaques that were placed on to of the mausoleums for birthday remembrances and such. A custom I have never seen. There were many sites in poor conditions but each had a sign requesting any known information to be given at some location. It seems they are trying to keep it up a little bit.   

For dinner Stuart stuffed some peppers we got at the farmer's market. They looked a lot like a poblano but unfortunately, they weren't. They tasted like a mild green bell pepper. Nonetheless they got filled baked and eaten. Another wonderful meal!

After dinner we took a short walk around the property admiring the smaller stone buildings and flowers around the property. Hard to believe we have less than two weeks left here!
