Mombrier July 5

Stuart got up fairly early? I slept in until almost 10. It was a slow start for me. I'm fine, just tired. I need a day of complete day to just "do nothing" at all. Maybe that will be tomorrow, it is supposed to rain overnight and be much cooler tomorrow. We do plan to go to Blaye for the big Farmer's Market but if the weather is bad we won't go. It ended up being nice today in the low 80's. The two loads of wash dried quickly in the sun! After I finally got my act together we drove into Bourg for a late lunch and grocery shopping. We had a couple stops to eat but both places were closed, even though the sign said open! We drove around a little and even ended up at the dock where we were moored here on the cruise. This was where we went to the fun wine festival and walked back to the ship. Good old Google did not fail us. We finally found a funky little cafe and had lunch. A glass of wine each and Stuart had croque monsieur and I had chicken with pasta. It was fine. 



On to Carrefour. We got the things we forgot yesterday and a few more things were added to our list. All that got put away and we played cards. Stuart fixed Rumaki (bacon wrapped scallops with fresh ginger and onion) and I fixed grilled baby romaine halves. It was a delicious dinner! The broiler in the oven worked pretty well since we have no grill. There was an appetizer of mushrooms and scallops as well, all delicious!


A splash of Grand Marnier before bedtime! Perfect ending of a wonderful, relaxing day here in Mombrier!
