A pretty house in Pezenas
Pony ride
Pezenas Candy StoreTuesday, July 20 – Home for the day and July 21 MaryAnn leaves
After spending the previous day driving all day and part of the night, we decided to stay near home for the day. We ended up spending most of it in Pezenas and it is really delightful. The medieval city is really charming, if a bit “cutsey” with its many shops and galleries – but most are high quality. The medieval architecture is beautiful with many buildings in excellent condition.
We visited several museums, shopped quite a bit, and sat in an outdoor café and watched the world go by. In the late afternoon, three gypsy men brought in three ponies which were available for kid’s to ride at 4 euros. Rather nostalgic. We came home and fixed a nice dinner of ratatouille and gazpacho.
MaryAnn left for Paris Wednesday morning. I drove her to Beziers to catch her train. We had such a good time together – I am really going to miss her. She is good company and a willing adventurer. I also enjoyed getting to know her so much better. We had fun sharing some “secrets”. Last night we were having such a fun time that the neighbor whose open windows face ours behind our dining room/living room told us to be quiet as we were keeping her awake. We certainly didn’t think we were being loud – just laughing a lot. Guess she’ll be happy that I’m alone for the next couple of weeks – watch out when Tony Wernert gets here.
Pezenas looks so beautiful. I love the fancy entrance to the candy store and the narrow streets. Hope you are back on good terms with the neighbors!
ReplyDeleteThe neighbor came over yesterday and apologized. She said she wasn't feeling well that night. I told her she would be happy to know I wasn't having any company for the next two weeks.
