Re-uniting with Jecca! April 18, 2026

  Dinan, St. Malo, Cancale

   Today, we had a very hearty breakfast (included at our guest house). Katrine is a very good host.

    Then, we drove about 35 minutes to St. Malo and parked outside the city walls where Jecca met us. She is traveling with just a backpack. It was SO great to see her; she looks so relaxed and happy.

      Mark drove to Cancale, the French capital of oysters where there are 1800 acres of oyster beds! First we hiked out toto La Pointe du Grouin. We looked out to rocky islands, even as far as Mount St Michel in the haze. 

     

 It was rather crowded as it was such a nice sunny Saturday. We ate on the water front and, of course, started with oysters which were amazing - right out of the sea. Mark and Jecca had a fish dish wrapped in thin pastry. Barbara had a seafood salad. All delicious.

      We strolled along the seafront where the tide was out; it has huge tides and the boats were on the ground.

      We went back to Dinan, parked and showed Jecca our guest house and then we walked with her to her apartment which is about a 4 minute walk. She has a lovely apartment in an old building. She will be happy there, we think. Mark walked back to our room and Jec and Barbara went to a Monoprix for Jec to shop for food.

     

 Later we met for dinner at a sushi restaurant.  A very good day.
