Following Paris, we headed to the small beach fortress of St. Malo on France's west coast. While there, we took advantage of our opportunity to relax in a small city with great food (thanks Dad)- during which Dan tried his first ever beef tartare and lobster. Though the weather wasn't ideal we didn't let that stop us from enjoying the beach, running around the city's old fortress wall and climbing around on the
islands when tide was out.
We were happily surprised by the local fireworks show
taking place upon our arrival in honor of France's Bastille Day. One of the coolest things about this place is that we seemed to be the only tourists who weren't French and rarely you could find someone who spoke English... it was pretty awesome.
Onto the next French Beach in Nice, as we make our way to Italy.
Today we pretty much just spent the day laying in the sun and swimming in the Mediterranean- hard life right? We have free internet access in our hostel which is why you are receiving this free little post in which there is not that much to write. Pretty much just that we are not beach-starved at the moment in any way.
Post from Italy!
FYI: Your first of two packages did arrive from Paris. Directions were followed & all is in great shape!!! Set for your return before driving down to Calif. Taking the jag in for repairs too. Miss you sweetie. Looking forward to your posting from Italy. XOXOX
