Azay le Rideau

You can buy almost anything at this market

The market at Bourgueil 

Out and about

Yesterday we visited the E. Le Clerc supermarche in Saumur.  A very large superstore in a mall with many shops. The weather is still pretty rainy so after spending quite a bit of time there we returned to the house for lunch and a nap for Gene.  We finally got the wi-fi problem worked out so we no longer have to go out the front door to connect.  Steven, one of the owners, gave us a jar of tomato sauce he made and we had it with some pasta and meatballs for dinner.  Today we went to the outdoor market in Bourgueil and then continued on to Azay le Rideau to visit a chateau.  Unfortunately it was undergoing restoration so most of the outside was not visible.  We did visit inside and strolled through the gardens. We had lunch in the charming town, then returned here to await the arrival of Pat and Leanne. The only computer I brought with me is my IPad, so it is a learning process posting photos to this blog.  Hope to have some on shortly. We have had some adventures mostly involving Gene. Expect some stories soon.
