much needed rest and relaxation…

friday-day 12

we have slept in-until 8:00…and decided to walk around the little town we are in, and of course, head to the patisserie…evil store for those of us who are addicted to bread.  i’m very gluten intolerant, and was on a very strict diet for months before coming here, trying to heal my gut as much as possible, because i knew there was no way i could refuse bread in france.  i’m sure i will be at square 0 when i get home!

we lounged, figured things out around the house, jarom did a load of laundry and hung them up to dry out on our terrace, enjoyed the lovely cool, overcast and breezy day.

we then ventured out to the grocery, one of them aldi-which they have in the states, and great prices i might add, and the other one called intermarche’ super, which was a large grocery for here, and more supermarket prices with more options.  we bought our goods at both places, and on our way home, decided since we were so close to beziers, to visit the city.  we keep seeing this beautiful picture of a lovely medieval bridge to the city, and thought how awesome it would be to see it.  nope.  but we made our way to the center of the city, and back to the very narrow, hard to drive incline streets that give you a heart attack, especially driving stick.  came home, made salad, rice and sautee’d veggies for dinner, which was so yummy!  lovely day, very relaxing.
