Up THE HILL(tm) there are Pelicans (Tuesday 9.25.2013)

Plans to drive down to Carnac were abandoned over a breakfast of fresh bread and tech issues.  Between the phones, booking issues and bank issues no-one wanted to sit in a car for hours to go take a look at the standing stones at Carnac.

Instead, we loafed till lunch and then went to a terrific restaurant, Aburge le Pelican.  They offer a nice lunch menu and a decent wine list(no roast pelican), so what the heck.  One last nice meal out for the crew and an evening in the garden eating up leftovers.

We had a spread of items from mussels to lobster, chicken in cidre to salmon cake "burger".  Splendid food, yet again!

After lunch we mooched through old Dinan, visiting our butcher, Emmanual and checking the shops for last minute tourist fun.  The weather was clear and sunny, a perfect afternoon to soak up the warmth.

On the way home, we found the entrance to the ramparts that pass across THE HILL(tm) just up from the house.  Great spot to see the roof scape and take pictures. 

THE HILL(tm) from the ramparts, winding down to the river.  Looks innocent from here...

Nap time struck about 3, and we all spent a quiet evening in the garden eating up the cheese, sausage, cookies and snacks that had piled up in the kitchen.  I grabbed some left over baguette and threw together a quick bread pudding with Brittany apples, raisins and apricots.  Had issues with oven again, but what the hell, even a bad bread pudding is mighty tasty!

Early to bed as Deb, Wayne, Clayton and Deanna are hopping the train to Paris in the morning.
