Day 7 (We just can't stay away.... from the French side)

Dh woke early and had a little walk down to the beach. He loves doing that. I eventually woke up to dh coffee and pastries from Jules. The chocolate twist is particularly good. We had a slow morning (killed another dozen mosquitos, I'm thinking this will be a daily ritual as they don't seem to be going away) and then ambled down with our chairs to Cupecoy Beach. Dd and dh made a sand castle. Dh and I had a Carib and enjoyed the sun and breeze. We then headed back in to get ready for a lunch trip to Grand Case and then off to the Super U for some supplies. We found the atm at Porto Cupecoy then off to Grand Case. Parking was easier than I anticipated. We ate at Cynthia's Talk of the Town. Dh and I had salt fish and Johnny cakes, and shared a whole lobster. Dd had the kids chicken and fries. All very good. That divine smoke stuck in my hair and made me hungry all day long! We were then off to the Super U again to restock. Dh wanted some more of those pork and veal chipolatas (they were excellent!!) plus we needed some more French wine and cheese. Supplies in hand we headed back to CBC. We got there in time for sunset and wine, a nice white Touraine. Mosquitoes again an issue inside and out but we just sprayed, and outside we can use a mosquito coil deterrent and the candles which help greatly. Spaghetti House again for dinner. Chicken Parm and Pinot Grigio x 2 for us and it was excellent. Dh got some blue cheese and walnut gnocchi to go for lunch/snack tomorrow. And back to the condo for a night cap, skeeter hunt, and listening to the ocean... and the frog alarm.
