This morning we woke up at 10am. I
don’t remember the last time (if ever) I have slept until 10am. That’s crazy!
I guess we were tired from all the traveling and things over the last
couple of days.
We decided we would continue
walking all the way to the closest grocery store – which ended up being over
5km away. I know that we are tough
Canadians, but when I ask if a place is close, I definitely do not think that
most people would think that 10km round trip would be close for groceries.
Anyway, by the time we got to the Carrefour, it was absolutely pouring rain. Not just a drizzle, but an absolute downpour. We decided we would basically buy everything we would need for the rest of the week and take a cab back to our place. It was an excellent decision, because potatoes, and the cheese needed for tartiflette were on sale, so those are heavy things. And now I have cheese to bring home to freeze for later on this winter! It was a fun grocery expedition and we were almost dry by the time we went to leave. Almost.
It wasn’t great weather out this
morning, but it wasn’t raining. So, we
decided to take our umbrellas and walk down the hill into Ange to go visit the
tiny town and the bakery. It is cute and
the bakery has some of the best pastries I have ever tasted! We bought a lemon tart and a religeuse. We walked over to the church gardens and ate
our treats there – and it was amazing.
Yeah!

We went for a walk in the forest
outside of the house and took some pictures during a raining break. We found tonnes of chestnuts and decided we
should shell and cook some of them. They
are okay. Not as amazing as the walnuts
I found this morning on our walk. So
very cool that there are nuts just growing everywhere here.

We made an amazing tartiflette for
dinner – and almost made ourselves sick.
It is definitely not a “light” dish at all. We will have to do some serious exercise
tomorrow to make up for all of our potatoes and cheese meals!
