Mombrier July 28

Today we went into Bourg for the Farmer's Market, fresh baguettes, lunch, the art gallery, and the wine shop. It was a fun day. It was also a warmer day but not too hot, that will be tomorrow! 

When we got to the Boulangerie they were sold out, but more was coming out of the oven in 10 minutes. We did a quick shop at the market, just getting tomatoes, zucchini, and 1 rather soft cheese that was infused with garlic. By the time we did that, the baguettes were out of the oven and selling fast. From the first batch of a dozen, we got 2, leaving just 1 behind! I hope more were coming out of the oven because there was still a long line behind us!


At the market today they have a band. I think the music is Reggae, anyway it was lively and the crowd showed it. We could not get into our little cafe. Stuart did get in line and got us a beer. He also found out they were not serving food today...so it worked out. We took our beer nextdoor to Halle Italienne with the idea of having pizza. Stuart did have pizza but I had carbonara. I never had it with a raw egg yoke on top but I mixed it in and it was very good. The lively music was just outside so we enjoyed the time. We shared dessert - Limoncello sorbet! Yum!

From there it was on to the art gallery. We were less impressed with the art work, just not our taste. It was very dark and gloomy to me. However, we found our spot in one of the quiet rooms and enjoyed a bottle of wine before heading home. 


Once here we ventured to the pool since no one was around there. We had a nice swim. Too bad Stuart got bit or stung on his finger before getting out. It is supposed to be 104F tomorrow so I hope the pool will be available at some point. 

We ate our leftovers for dinner. However, Stuart still has some pizza left!
