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-1st walked on digue and went out to the boules terrain in the afternoon.

TUESDAY-2nd was a busy morning. Just as we were leaving to do our shopping, we got a call from the Amazon delivery driver. He was waiting outside for us, so we met up with him and got our package. We then walked to the Intermarché Super.

When we got back to the apartment, we saw that the Argentine sailing vessel the ARA Libertad was in the lock and about to enter the basin. It was here for a 3 day visit. We rushed out to the basin area and spent the next hour watching the Libertad go through the lock, get maneuvered into place by two tugs and then docked. The band on the ship played as they maneuvered and parts of the crew were positioned on the masts.

WEDNESDAY-3rd and were greeted by a fine mist in the air. It was overcast and the mist was not a problem. We took the bus to Rochebonne and walked back, as usual there was a lot going on at the digue and the beach.

In the afternoon we took a little walk to the harbor and the mole to see the sights.

THURSDAY-4th was a bit odd in the morning. We walked to the nearby Rocabey marché and as we were leaving we met our friend Guy (1). As we continued our walk home we met our friend Eliane (2) as we crossed a parking lot. At the Esplanade Saint-Vincent we met our friend Jean-Michel (3) and spoke with him. As we were talking, our friends Jean-Yves (4) and Philippe (5) came up and starting talking with us. They had their dogs with them, Gavroche and Fripouille. So, on our 25 minute walk back from the marche, we met five of our friends and two of their dogs.

In the evening, we celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary with a great dinner at LE BOUCHE À OREILLE restaurant.

FRIDAY-5th we took a bus to Rochebonne and walked back to the Intra-Muros. The wind was really blowing and at times it was not pleasant.

SATURDAY-6th was the annual street flea market in Saint-Servan. We left very early to avoid the crowd and actually we were too early, not all the vendors had set up. So we walked to the Bas-Sablons harbor area of Saint-Servan and had Oranginas with a croissant and a pain-au-chocolat at the Le Ponton resto. The restaurant is right on the harbor at Bas-Sablons.

SUNDAY-7th was pretty quiet as all we did outside was take a walk to the harbor and the mole. It was a beautiful day with a good wind, so there were dozens of sail boats in and around the harbor.
