Sunday 1/8: More Driving, Coloring, and a Trip to the Cinema

I drove (the automatic) to Capbreton this morning with Maria to pick up Alison. We stopped at the beach to walk around, despite the fact that it was raining…

After showing Maria the beach, we drove back towards Tyrosse, planning to stop at the shop that sells dried fruits…but apparently we took a different road (I find roundabouts rather confusing), so we didn’t pass it. We ended up getting back to Tyrosse and immediately driving ten minutes back to the fruit stand. It was worth it—the dried strawberries and orange strips are like heaven. We tried to find a pizza place for lunch, but all the ones in Tyrosse were closed and I didn’t want to do any more driving. So, we just had lunch at home and made an English Apple Crumble for dessert tonight.

This afternoon, Maria, Alison, and I went to the cinema here to see “Intouchables.” It was such a big hit that they brought it back (even though it played here back in November) and I loved it so much that I wanted them to see it. We all enjoyed the movie and the cinema was pretty full considering that the movie has been out for several months now!

We spent some time coloring with the epic markers (now Alison is hooked…) and then taught Margot a new card game. I helped Catherine make dinner while Alison and Maria continued playing with Margot.

After dinner (and apple crumble with custard from Scotland—Catherine’s dream dessert), I drove Alison home and successfully made it back without getting lost in the dark! Hurrah!
