Sally Mayor, a friend from Switzerland (and a balloonist) has joined us on Zee Otter. Sally was born in the U.S., but has lived in Switzerland for 35 years, works with languages, and is fluent in French among many other languages. So she is helping me with pronounciation and meanings. Great fun.
We have moved down the canal to Mas d'Agenais, the most beautiful little town. Going to markets, visiting bastides (walled towns), eating and drinking well are the order of the day. Recently went to the 'Buzet Wine Sale'.... half bottles of wine (50 mls), red and white for €1.00 ($A1.33) that is perfect for our dinners.
And €12 lunches ($A16 that include a starter, a soup, a main, dessert and 1/4 bottle of wine.) Again... great meals, great wine. I have gained weight again. I hope I lose it before we return to Australia on Oct. 23rd!!
Off to Switzerland this coming Wednesday.
