Hotel A La Dame De Coeur Soulac-sur-Mer

We're sitting at our BandB having coffee (strong!) bread and jam....the fourlegged owner of the establishment is sitting in Gary's lap enjoying being given the appropriate homage....
We visited 2 Chateux yesterday and attempted to enter the city of Bordeax (5thlargest in France)
Yikes. No more of that.

we're off to two ...

... that people are still living in and walked around in the soft sand again. Had dinner in a great little Pizza shop where I somehow managed to get anchovies on mine…I guess that’s the fun of ordering food when you can’t read the menu or speak the language.

Now it’s trying for sleep with acorns raining on the tent. Oh the trails we face!

... the street just in case. Huge wide beaches just waiting for sun-worshippers to lay themselves upon it. Thankfully it’s not holiday time and most places are empty (which suits us just right). We manages to find a smaller quieter campground that was still open and settled ourselves for the evening. A very nice man came over and offered us a couple of his plastic chairs to use to the evening - so sweet! Whoever said that the French were snobs ... ?

... wine during the marthon and had a blast. This is the best marthon out of the 9 I have done and highly recommend it. When you cross the finish line you get a medal and a bottle of wine. The whole town comes out to support the runners and the wineries are amazing.

... lane to pass, the driver leaves his/her left turn signal on until moving back into the right lane (and out of the way of faster moving traffic). It's the way highway driving is supposed to work in the U.S., but doesn’t, and it made my long drive from Urretxu to Saintes smooth and easy.

Another interesting note from driving in this area of Western Europe was how most vehicles (almost all of them small sedans/compact cars) had either a bike rack or ...

Onceleri cok keyifli ve heyecanli olan blog isi (yasadiklarini aninda sevdiklerinle paylasiyorsun), zamanla beni cok zorlamaya basladi. Bir kere internete her yerden erismek mumkun degil. Erissen de Wi-Fi olmali, cunku fotograf makinendeki resimleri once bilgisayara indiriyorsun, oradan da bloga. Sehirlere varis ve cikis saatlerim bazen cok abuk oluyor. Aksam uzeri sehre variyorum ...

... the...heck the icons mean? Case in point -- the induction cooktop in our house in Soulac-sur-Mer. I am not kidding when I say it took us 20 minutes every time we had to turn it on. Amy never succeeded in getting it to work at all. What was needed was a totally obscure sequence of pushes to multiple buttons, always impossible to remember and duplicate. The French do not hang out in charming sidewalk ...

... tomorrow. See ya! (Jack's response) On advice of my attorney, I am limiting myself to my prepared remarks. Her story is not accurate. I did not trip her, she tried to step on my foot and tripped herself. Soon the facts will be out, and it will be clear who the real victim is. Besides, her foot was not even broken, and she could wear her sandals if she wanted to. If the shoe fits, you must acquit! (Jim) Free ride to the hospital in an ...

... Here is the result over three generations: First generation: 90 natives, 10 immigrants Second generation: 59 natives, 20 immigrants Third generation: 38 natives, 40 immigrants There are two issues here -- the first is the aging of the overall population as these nations gradually empty out. (All of those charming farmhouses in Provence and Tuscany are empty for a reason, and it ain't bad weather.) The second is the nature of the ...

... now I am sitting at a park bench in the middle of the deserted square in front of the municipal market of Soulac-sur-Mer. It is 9:15 p.m., and I've just finished transmitting my paperwork to my office. This is the only spot in town where I can get internet access, and it is available 24/7 as long as I have a pre-paid internet card with minutes left. It is very peaceful ...
