HISTORY IN THE MAKING

Gracias Roses, Costa Brava and Adios Espanol!

Another country down and added to our history.

Oh, and Dave and I went for a walk last night and ran into the Chillum Grow Shop and went in to check it out. They had everything you need to grow your own Cannibis which we were told is "tolerated" in Spain. They didn't sell any "stuff." We were just looking, honestly!

A safe trip and home sweet home again.

Dave was having oyster withdrawals and managed to pick up two dozen since we were home in time to catch the tail end of the markets plus some lovely fresh veges and a bunch of flowers for little 'ol me :).

FRIDAY, ROSES, COSTA BRAVA, SPAIN

The tallest sandcastle ever built by the Stark children with the help of Dad.




















Sofie was, once again, buried alive. All that sand in every crevice - ewwwww!

We realised on the way home that we too should have put a box with a sign saying "gracias, merci, thank you," just as this sculptor had done, with a lot of people stopping to take photos of our castle.

Just one more!

And then I'll settle by taking 3 litres home.

More photos here.

ESCARGOT AND CRAVING

Dave had his very first serve of escargot, since being in France, last night. Since we missed the shops on Sunday (they only open till lunchtime) and with yesterday (Monday) being a public holiday here we made sure to catch them in the morning, along with every other person in Uzes! Dave found these in the freezer section for 1 euro 20 cents, far cheaper than we've seen at the markets. As for the taste, his response "good, garlic and butter."

We're craving some sun, sand and sea and generally warmer weather so we're flitting off to Roses, Costa Brava in Spain first thing tomorrow morning. We're booked into Hotel Ramblamar. Adios y mas tarde.
