Today was one of those days that didn't gel. Everyone was up late and if you miss the morning bus you have to wait 3 hours which just makes everyone impatient. We went to a museum in Cap d'Agde specializing in marine archeology. Cool, right? Ancient statues and pottery found off the coast by scuba divers. There was fighting and complaining and "i'm starvings" but we did end up spending a couple hours looking at things. No picture taking was allowed so the camera hungry among us couldn't satisfy their needs.
I took a stab at cooking on the grill which is really more like an ancient outdoor oven. I didn't use enough charcoal so dinner took forever adding to the pleasure of the day.
New day, tomorrow, though, and we have to have an early start. 8:20 bus to catch the 8:50 train to Nimes, a town with lots of Roman stuff. The pictures and video should be excellent watching. Be sure to check it out and leave your comments. Saturday will be another good day in Pezenas which has an enormous outdoor market (so I'm told).
Today's bakery selection: almond croissant, butter croissant and brioche sucre (all slathered with Nutella, of course).
Here's hoping the troops rally through tomorrow's long day! I think I'll have to pick up a couple bottles of some fine but cheap (2Euros!!) Languedocien vin rouge. La vie est belle.

Ah Luanne- pastries with Nutella, and 2 euro wine, la vie est belle, indeed! I have to say that on our forays in France I was not surpised at the way the kids took to the pastries- but the way they appreciated the cheeses was a pleasure to see...and now Chazz wants wine when we have it- fat chance!
