MONDAY-15th We took a nice walk to the Bas Sablons area of Saint-Malo and had a small brunch at a resto on the harbor.

TUESDAY-16th We took the bus to the Carrefour Hypermarché to do our last shopping at this store for the year. They had a few things we can only get there. Our bus ride back was twice as long as usual. There had been an accident at the big roundabout and it really tied up the traffic. Yesterday was a holiday in France with most stores closed (Assumption), and it was sprinkling today so there were more people than usual driving around. Actually the bus was not crowded and very comfortable so it was not much of a problem, just long.

WEDNESDAY-17th We took a walk out to the Mole and watched boats come back and forth to the harbor. It has been much cooler this week so not too many people were in the water.

THURSDAY-18th we had a nice little walk to the Rocabey marché for our usual shopping. We stopped at the butcher, the cheese seller, and the olive seller. On the walk back we met our friend Eliane who was walking to the marché.

In the afternoon we walked to the Esplanade Saint-Vincent. There was a give away of local Brittany products from the yellow “LA TOURNEE! PRODUIT EN BRETAGNE!” truck.

FRIDAY-19th has been a quiet day with not much going on. Sandy tried to buy some Perrier, for the 3rd day in a row, from our small Carrefour City. Today they were sold out of all brands of sparkling water. Sometimes a quiet day is appreciated.

SATURDAY-20th started with a shopping walk to and from the Intermarché Super. We were searching for Perrier and found it at the Intermarché. We had brought our shopping caddy, so we loaded up with three six-packs of Perrier and walked home.

In the afternoon we walked to the harbor. There was a big cruise ship anchored in the bay and its little shuttle boats were transporting sightseers back and forth to Saint-Malo.

SUNDAY-21st has been very gray. It has been overcast all day with an on and off drizzle. A stay in the apartment day.

MONDAY-11th Took the bus to the Carrefour Hypermarché at LaMadeline center. We purchased two small table fans. We expect we will need the fans in the next few days as we are suppose to have a heat wave over the weekend. Very few apartments or homes are air conditioned in Saint-Malo.

TUESDAY-12th and Sandy was early to the local marché. She was in line in front of our neighbor from the 5th floor (6th floor in USA counting) of our building, Nathalie. Nathalie was there with her husband Nicolas.

We had our weekly trip to the Intermarché Super. At the store, we bumped into the restauranteur from across the street at the store. We exchanged greetings, but we were unable to determine if he was shopping for himself or for his resto. It is a very small resto, which he runs by himself most of the time. Only for a few weeks at peak season in August will he hire a server to assist.

Bakery we stop at on our return from the Intermarché Super. The bakery is right across from the bus stop where we get our bus for the return home.

WEDNESDAY-13th walked the digue in the morning and really didn’t have any other plans for the day.

Some “art” work on the digue
Walking in the water for exercise.

THURSDAY-14th on our way to the Rocabey marché we met up with our friend Jean-Yves and his little dog Fripouille. We talked about the heat and Jean-Yves said the dog did not like to walk on the hot asphalt. We walked to the Rocabey marché for some meat for Sunday dinner, ham for sandwiches, and mini-pizzas for lunch.

While at the marche, we met our friend Michel, who along with his wife Marie Dominque, is the proprietor of the Hôtel Quic-en-Groigne in the Intra-Muros. He was buying tapenades and olives from the same vendor that supplies Sandy with olives. We asked him if any of the Netflix people, from last weeks filming, had stayed at his hotel. He responded that they had rented three room but had not used them. He called that “good business.”

Today was the Féte National, the National Holiday celebrating the beginning of the French Revolution. There was a lot of BLUE, WHITE and RED, the colors of the French flag. At 23:00 we went out to watch the fireworks. The fireworks were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.

FRIDAY-15th Sandy stocked up on some vegetables and fruit from the Intra-Muros marché. Mid-morning we took a walk to the chocolate shop on the Quai Duguay-Trouin and bought some chocolates at the Carre chocolat shop.

In the evening, we went up to the 5th floor (6th floor in USA counting) for aperitifs at the top floor apartment of Nicolas and Nathalie. They live in Versailles and are here this week to “télé travailler.” Their jobs allow them to occasionally work from home, so that is what they are doing this week here at their secondary home in Saint-Malo. They are here with their two children, Gwenaëlle and Corentin, who are both at university, but working in Saint-Malo now for their summer jobs.

SATURDAY-16th and a walk on the digue. As we crossed the Esplanade Saint-Vincent we met Philippe with this dog Gavroche, and Jean-Yves with his dog Fripouille. We talked about the heat for a few minutes and everyone agreed that Sunday and Monday would be stay indoors days.

SUNDAY-17th with temperature at 33°C (91.4°F) Sandy wanted to go to the beach. We went to the Plage de Bon Secours for a dip in the water, but only up to our shoulders. The water temperature is still cold 19°C (66°F).

THAT IS COLD WATER!!!!!
Proof we really did get into the water, no swimming, but wading up to our shoulders.
