before going to the market. The girls slept in.
Then we set out for the market, something I
Had been looking forward to since before we arrived
We had selected an assortment of cheeses,
charcuterie, fruits, and vegetables. Now we
were ready for a coffee break!
These are the traditional sweets for the region: Caneles de Bordeaux.
Now back to the house with our bounty to
have lunch with a little champagne(from Champagne, of course!) and meet Eric and
Yahsou, Missa's parents (the other french girl
who will be coming with us to CA for an exchange).
Bethany gives me that look that says: "Really Mom?? Another picture??!!)
After lunch we drove about an hour to the
medeival villiage of San Emilliano which is in the middle of a beautiful area surrounded by
vineyards and grand chateaus.
We walked through the cobblestone streets of this little hillside town, admiring the stone buildings.
We went inside this 13th century church tp admire a beautiful piece of history
We were ready for a little break so we stopped for some refreshments in a little market square and enjoyed the best crepe we have had in France so far😋
Then we wandered through the underground cellars of Philippe and Anne's favorite winery and purchased a bottle of Bordeaux to bring with us to Venice
On the way to the car we had to make just one
more stop inside a little macaron shop.
Bethany had been wanting one since we
arrived
Now back in the car to go back to Merignac for dinner. Philippe is a very good cook and he served us his homemade ratatouille, with some more bordeaux of course.🍷
After dinner we shared stories and family
photos and discussed summer plans.
Burt played a little with a french yo-yo of sorts.
