Relaxing at the Beach

I’m afraid the next few posts will be rather boring – we are happily settled on the Mediterranean coast and enjoying walking on the beach in the morning, eating far too much for lunch, swimming in the afternoon (it’s not true that you’ll get a cramp and drown if you don’t wait 30 minutes after eating – we’ve proven it) and falling asleep with a good book and a bottle of local wine in the evening. Actually, perhaps not exactly local wine…they make a ton of Rose in this region which we find awful (each to his own), but there are plenty of excellent alternatives to choose from. The picture (from lunch today) is of huitres gratinees – oysters with Emmental cheese – very nice indeed!
