MONDAY-13th walk on Solidor Tower. The Solidor is located in Saint-Malo in the Saint-Servan area. The tower dates back to the 14th century.
We took advantage of the great weather and stopped at one of the restaurant/bar for a drink of grenadine and water. While having the drink we got to enjoy this wonderful view.
TUESDAY-14th and a walk to the Intermarché Super and did the large item shopping for the week.
On the way back to our apartment we met our friend Jean-Yves and his little dog Fripouille (Scoundrel in English). They were walking on the Quai Duguay-Trouin on their way back to Jean-Yves’ apartment. We had a little discussion about supermarkets and prices. Jean-Yves is a proponent of the E.Leclerc supermarket chain as having the best prices. E.Leclerc is one of the largest supermarket chains in France.
In the afternoon we took a walk to say hello to the boules players and then walked to the harbor to see what was happening. It was low tide so not much was going on, but we did see a cruise ship anchored in the harbor, the World Navigator.

WEDNESDAY-15th walk on the digue. The weather is great and there is always something going on at the digue. If nothing else there are always people walking, bicycling, jogging and roller skating.
On the way back we take a detour parallel to ramparts to get to the Plage de Bon Secours. then a drink at the L’Embarque. The L’Embarque is a beach side restaurant directly in front of the sea water pool at the Plage de Bon Secours.
In the afternoon we visited the boules court and then took a walk to the end of the mole. There were two cruise ships in the harbor the AIDAAURA on the left and the SILVER WIND on the right in the photo below.

THURSDAY-16th we walked to the Rocabey marché day. The local marché is our place to purchase the fresh products like meat, vegetables and fruit. Another thing we buy at the marché is Thai food. There is a Thai restaurant in the Paramé area of Saint-Malo and the owner of the restaurant brings many of her dishes to the marché. We bought food from her last year and this year it is just at good. Sandy discovered this vendor and we are all glad.
We did see this interesting hotel-bus this morning. The passengers travel in the bus and they also sleep on the bus. Interesting but we don’t think it is for us. If you are interested, try their site.

FRIDAY-17th and it was a very warm day for Saint-Malo, around 32°C (90°F). We only wade in the water up to our ankles. The water temperature is 16°C (61°F) so no swimming for us. Maybe in August.

After our vigorous wading we did stop at the L’Embarque for Sandy to have a grenadine syrup and water, and Phil to have a mint syrup and water.
SATURDAY-18th and we planned to wade in the water. The weather is good, but quite a bit cooler than Friday. Our plans were the same, so we went to the Plage de Bon Secours and waded in the water. The sea was not warmer. After the wading we went back to the L’Embarque for Sandy to have a grenadine syrup and water, and Phil to have a mint syrup and water, but this time we added a serving of fries. Big spenders!
SUNDAY-19th and the weather is much different. It rained over night and this morning the temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius lower than yesterday. It was high tide but not much was going on in the harbor. The harbor always looks better at high tide rather than low tide, but sometimes there is more happening at low tide. You can never tell, so that is why we usually take a walk to the harbor each day to see what is happening. Today, the wind was pretty strong, so when we went for walk we did not stay out for very long.
