Camping à La Rochelle

Visite chez Bui Van Phuong (Anh Muoi) et sa femme Madeleine.

L'aquarium de La Rochelle, on a l'impression d'être sous l'eau !

Premier jour de vacances dans un petit port de pêcheur au sud de La Rochelle. Une 1/2 heure après l'arrivée au camping, Chi Hai va tout de suite à la piscine.

la decoratrice

these are pictures from a somewhat vegetarian restaurant in sete. i took pics to give ideas to my mom and chi ngoc...

posted outside is a chalkboard with the day's menu...one appetizer (entree), one entree (plat principal), and a dessert for 9.50 euro. there are no choices, she only makes one menu a day, only open for lunch.

she also has a shop attached that sells bags, soaps, paintings, etc.

if anyone wants to try it:
13 rue Alsace Lorraine
Sete 04 67 18 81 71

first course - quinoa salad with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lemon; salad with soy or miso dressing; wrap with mint, possibly hummus, red peppers

second course - pasta with balsamic reduction, parmesan, pinolli nuts and an arugula (rocket) pesto

dessert - peach soup with violet syrup and whipped cream

Feeling a little neglected!

I was given a bench outside to sleep on
I had to eat outside alone
I was forced to sweep and mop the floors by the innkeeper
and when I asked to use the pool I was yelled at
Then I had to give my confession to that innkeeper

I have seen all the other Americans getting VIP treatment at the Bernard B&B. It makes me feel a bit neglected and here are the pictures to prove it.

mont saint michel

mont saint michel...you can see how the water came in through the pictures. it was mostly dry when we arrived at 5pm then slowly started coming in around 8.30pm. it was so beautiful!
