HOLIDAYS IN FRANCE 6

Again a beautiful day and we went to the habour of Toulon to visit an old sailing ship from 1923.



We walked along the habor and admired all the beautiful yachts and boats. (the picture above shows Claudie's daughter Anna with me)



There were lots of people who enjoyed the warm sun too and sat on the various terraces having an ice cream or drink and watching people going by.



The sailing boat's name was Marité and once inside, I thought I was walking on a moving ground. Anna pregnant, had to sit down, so we didn't really look at everything because on top the air was bad.



Then we sat on a terrace and watched Brazilian dancers. They had a lot of success !

On our way home, as it was still quite early we stopped at the Beach ! There were also many people as there were Spring holidays and some of them even swam in the sea !



Anna was happy to be outside, she is really in the last days of her giving birth to a little girl. I had ordered a beer without alcohol (NA) as I don't like sodas or sweet drinks and they served me a Tourtel beer, which usually is very good, but in this one which unfortunately was a new invention they had added lemon ! So it was like a lemon soda, disgusting !

Happy with our day we returned home where Pierre, Claudie's husband had prepared us a delicious supper, a roasted porc with veggies and little potatoes, called "grenailles".

HOLIDAY's IN SOUTHERN FRANCE

My holidays continue in wonderful weather, it is warm and my "office" is outside



I am spoiled with the delicious food Claudie's husband prepares. He loves cooking.



 Here he is preparing chicken  brochettes




Each day I have an ice cream and the vegetables we eat come from the garden and sometimes they have real funny shapes ! The eggplant looks like a man's head with a huge nose. The figs are growing in abundance you just have to pick them up from the trees.



We went along the beach in Toulon and Claudie checked  the water, but it was a little too chilly for our taste ! But at least we could take a nice sunbath and then sit on the terrace of a café to have a drink.



We also went up into the mountains to a charming little village (Castelet) from where we had a beautiful view over the whole landscape.
