Sunday May 29 is fête des mères (mother’s day) in France.

Sandy’s foot felt much better today.  Since it was mostly sunny this morning she spent quite a bit of time on the balcony enjoying the weather.

Around 13:00 we decided to try going for a walk.  Sandy’s foot was still swollen but she was able to wear a pair of sandals.  We walked to the Place du Marché aux Légumes and watched people and feed the little birds with left over bread.  We took a few pictures of the place from our nice comfy bench.

Phil dropped off the recycling and garbage at the “poubelle” center.  He then visited the boulangerie and bought a baguette for lunch/dinner.

By the time we headed home Sandy’s foot had swollen so the straps from her sandals had made imprints on her foot.

Around 4 pm we ate “lunch/dinner” of pork chops, tiny boiled potatoes with carrots and salad.  Very tasty!
