It is Friday May 27, 2016.  It has been a long week for sickie Sandy.

Sandy was in less pain today but her foot and ankle were still swollen. But considering she could hardly walk on Wednesday there has been some good progress.

Phil left the apartment before 9 am to shop at the Intra-Muros marché for fr27008421430_fe73c6d388_kesh fruit and vegetables.  He brought the items back to Sandy for washing.  He then left to catch the bus to the Carrefour Hypermarche at the La Madeleine Center.  He did quite a bit of shopping, filling our roller cart to the brim with some overflow in a separate bag. Luckily Sandy gave him a picture of the type of milk to buy.  There are many types and it  is often confusing.  He then took the number 1 bus toward the Intra-Muros.

While waiting for the bus he took this picture.27283659625_86beca2c6c_k

Phil stopped at the Saint-Servan marché on the way back.  The butcher we most frequently use, Ferme les Aubriais, is at the marché on Friday and Tuesday. We needed some ground beef, chicken breasts, and pork chops.  The marché was quite busy.

It is easier to walk home from Saint-Servan instead of taking the bus, so that is the route Phil took.

On the way he saw the Brittany Ferry heading out of the harbor.

During the walk the bridge was open and the lock/ecluse was open.  A “pirate” ship was on its way out to the harbor.

On his way home Phil stopped at Macaron Simon Boulangerie for a baguette and some macarons. Then a quick stop at the Tabac Presse des Cordiers  for a newspaper.  Then home.

Vendredi 3 octobre a été un matin à la recherche effrayant que le brouillard était très 15240392039_19e41b272d_kdense. Nous n’avons pas vu ce qu’il brouillard avant. Le bateau 15240611067_be055ffee8_kpirate dirait qu’il est prêt pour Halloween et le château a presque disparu. D’environ 11 heures le brouillard avait disparu et le soleil brillait. Dans l’après-midi nous sommes allés à la maison de vente aux enchères (à environ 20 minutes de marche) pour afficher les articles à mettre aux enchères la journée suivante. Tout en marchant à travers le parking, nous avons repéré deux plaques d’immatriculation différe15241505227_b31cc36da4_kntes à ajouter à notre collection de photos. Deux campeurs / RV étaient garés dans un grand nombre de plaques d’immatriculation de Victoria en Australie et en Ecosse. 15428060055_5c704bfd8a_kTrès intéressant de penser à le voyage qu’ils ont fait pour arriver à Saint-Malo, France. Nous avons également essayé de nouveaux desserts après le dîner. Un regardé comme une pêche, mais avait un gâteau éponge croûte avec une crème de réflexion sur le dessus puis recouvert et décoré comme une pêche. La deuxième était vert lumière colorée et avait15437967075_85fc27f43d_h une croûte à la crème sous le glaçage de couleur verte comme couverture. Ils ont goûté super!

Friday October 3 was a spooky looking morning as the fog was very dense.  We’ve not seen it this foggy before.  The pirate ship looks like it’s ready for Halloween and the Castle has almost disappeared.  By around 11 am the fog was gone and the sun was shining.  In the afternoon we walked to the auction house (about a 20 minute walk) to view the items to be auctioned off the next day.  While walking thru the parking lot we spotted two different license plates to add to our collection of pictures.  Two campers/RV were parked in a lot with license plates from Victoria Australia and Scotland.  Quite interesting to think of the traveling they did to arrive in Saint-Malo, France. We also tried to new desserts after dinner.  One looked like a peach but had a sponge cake crust with a think custard on top then covered and decorated as a peach.  The second was light green colored and had a crust with custard underneath the green colored frosting like covering.  They tasted great!
