Thursday 30 April, 2015 - exploring our neigbourhood
We woke up to a heavy downpour, but this did not deter us from doing three walking tours in our neighbourhood. Among the many sites we saw were where Hemmingway stayed (3 locations) and had a cappucino where he drank whisky. We visited the famous English language bookstore - Shakespeare & Co. - a treasure trove of reading built like warren of small rooms and nooks. Walking along, I was delighted to be able to help others with directions - en français. Who knew we looked like locals?
This evening we had one of our best meals of our vacation at the "Restaurant Perraudin" right in our neighbourhood. We had great conversations with mostly Americans around us.
