First day without jackets!
Today we walked to the Boulangerie de la Cathedrale and had coffee and croissants. Then, we walked the ramparts for about a mile.
We drove to Dinan and parked in the port. It was actually hot today! Jecca was waiting for us at Le Roger Bontemps alongside the river. We all had the same specialty of the day, but added 8 oysters from Cancale to it. The presentation was gorgeous, starting with a Caesar Salad with anchovies.
That was followed by a pasta dish (shells) with gorgonzola cheese which was, as Jec said, it was an adult version of mac and cheese. That was followed by a rhubarb tarte with raspberries, crumbled cookies and some sort of vanilla creme fresh.
We basked in the sun and thoroughly enjoyed a leisurely French lunch. We all thought it was a special meal in a special place with people we love.
Jec and Barbara climbed back to Jec's apartment and gathered a few clothes for us to take when we meet up again in June in London as she wants to carry as little as possible on her hike in Cornwall in two weeks.
We drove back to St. Malo and waited to get a good parking spot (and we did). We went back to the butter store and got butter and two yogurts. Then, we went back to the Boulangerie de la Cathedrale for another baguette for dinner.
A very good day.
