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.

***WE SPOTTED THE CORMORANT AS IT WENT ABOUT FISHING IN THE HARBOR!***

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.

***SANDY WITH HER GREAT LOOKING AND GREAT TASTING MEAL.***

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.

***THE SAINT-MALO FLAG IN THE STRONG WIND.***

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.

MONDAY-25th took the number 6 bus to BricoMarché, the local big box hardware store, to look into ideas to keep Sophie from escaping the apartment. Did not really come up with any good ideas, so we will just have to stay vigilant.

In the afternoon we walked to the harbor.

***Threatening skies in the afternoon, but no rain.***

TUESDAY-26th had our haircuts at Studio 3 at 10:30. Then we went to the Intermarché Super for our normal big store shopping.

In the late afternoon we took a walk to the harbor and then headed to the Café de L’Ouest to meet our friend Jean-Michel for a drink. He surprised us by bringing crêpes to the resto. So with our Orangina drinks we got to try some very tasty crêpes. The crêpes were from the crêperie owned by the same company, Maison Hector, which owns the Café de L’Ouest. They own 4 or 5 restaurants in the area. Well the crêpes were wonderful, so we will have to try the crêperie in the next couple of weeks. Jean-Michel was giving us a taste of the crêpes which originated here in western France, Brittany.

WEDNESDAY-27th We did a long walk on the digue in the morning to see the sights.

***Sights we saw on the digue Wednesday morning.***

In the afternoon we went to the boules court and then to the harbor. There were a lot of people traveling back and forth between Saint-Malo and Dinard which is on the other side of the bay of Saint-Malo. It is a 15 minute boat ride.

***A lot of people coming and going on the shuttle boat between Saint-Malo and Dinard.***

THURSDAY-28th was the day the city water department decided to tear up the street about 30 meters from our apartment building. They made a lot of noise to replace about 3 meters of pipe.

***tamping down ground after the repair and before laying the asphalt***

In the morning we walked to the Rocabey marché for meat; sausages, beef and sandwich ham.

***a magpie on our way to the Rocabey marché***

In the afternoon we walked to the boules court where we saw the vans from the BACKROADS bicycle tour company. They are a common sight here in Saint-Malo in the summer. Bicycling is a very popular activity in the area of Brittany.

FRIDAY-29th And without any demands on our time we took a walk to the Bas Sablons area of Saint-Malo. It is the area just south of us that has the big harbor for pleasure boats. There we explored an area which we had not visited for at least 5 years. We found a nice resto/bistro to have a drink before returning home.

In the evening we met our friend Guy for drinks. We met at a resto/bistro across the street from the train station which was about the same distance from both of our apartments. The Cuisine de rue is a small resto/bistro which was perfect for our needs. We had Oranginas, beers and chips. We were able to catch up with what was new with Guy. It was a very nice evening.

SATURDAY-30th and we took the bus to Rochebonne and returned via the digue.

In the afternoon we were at the harbor as the Commodore Goodwill left for its next stop.

SUNDAY-31st the last day of the month. An overcast day without sun in the morning. We took the number 9 bus from the esplanade Saint-Vincent to the Kennedy bus stop in Rochebonne. Then we walked along the digue on our way home.
