The Road to Lehon Part Trois (Friday 10.4.2013)

The girls were up and out to Mont-Saint-Michel long before Nita, Kelly, Mirinda and myself bothered to get out of bed.  Pastries were obtained, coffee prepared, the day started for us lazy folks.

Post pastry giddiness syndrome.


Mostly we lazed about the house till the girls got home about 1pm.  After a light lunch, we gathered up the troops for another walk to Lehon.  Nita and I are coming to truly love that walk to the little town around the bend of the river.

The little house with the green shutter is where I we want to live in Lehon.


The weather was perfect, cool with a tad of fresh breeze to keep the air moving along the river bottom.  Stopping for photo after photo, the walk took us a quite pleasant half hour to reach the abbey.  Nita and I sat back and let our friends explore the marvels of the abbey and cathedral.

Once more, people cannot keep their sticky hands off the history.  I'm running out of bail money dammit...



We wandered over to the bar at the base of the fortress and enjoyed an aperitif with the grumpy old men playing cards in the corner and drinking Ricard Pastis.

Kelly ran, and yes I mean ran, up to the top of the fort while we enjoyed our drinks.  Feisty man is our Kelly.

An early evening stroll led us back to Dinan and a relaxing meal out and an early evening for some of us. 

Roast fig with honey and vanilla ice cream.


We will be losing the girls in the morning, it will be a much more quiet and lonely house without them.

Safe travels you crazy kids!!
