Plans change

Midday…

Plans change… we’re leaving the coast and are on the train headed to the French Alps. So where have we been? After Carcasonne, we went back to Montpellier and looked for some non-French food. We found tapas, which we loved. Also had a bottle of Rioja. The bottle was wrapped in burlap. What does this mean? No idea, but it was good. The food was caliente et spicy. I paid later, but it sure was tasty. On Saturday morn, we drove to Sete, a small fishing town. It was like Coos Bay. We then drove out on an isthmus on the coast. The road reminded me of the road to Key West… right on the beach. We stopped and put our feet in the Med. Yes, raftman, there are girls who do not wear tops on the beach. The sun was pretty intense, so we did not stay long. Stopped in a town called Adge, where we had crepes. Then we headed into Montpellier to return the car… ugh!. But with GPS, it was a non event. We got turned around once, but pretty much just drove right to it. What a relief.

So, getting a little tired of the humidity and the big city, we tried to book a hotel on the French Riveria. No joy. So, screw it. Let’s head north. So, we are currently headed to Annecy, which is on a lake and is a gateway to the French Alps. I’ll send pics on my next blog. More later… PC
