Lacanau

This last Monday I met up with Corinne and the boys at the train station to head down to Lacanau for the week. Lacanau is a beach city on the Atlantic Coast of France about an hour west of Bordeaux. When we arrived about three hours later Corinne rented a car and took us into Bordeaux to have some ice cream and Canele, the traditional dessert of Bordeaux. I oddly enough don't have any pictures of them but am here for a few days more so I am sure that won't be a problem. The days have all started running together because we have been so busy every day keeping the boys and their two friends entertained that I have been too tired to even blog, even there has been so much happening. 

 The beach is only a block away from the house we are renting, the first day we came down to the beach for a bit of surfing and bodyboarding. Corinne was very nice and tried to warn me about the temperature of the water, but I think the Californian beaches have the stereotype that the water is nice and warm, because for me this cold water felt just like home.

Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Monday, I can't remember, we went out for lunch and we all ordered mussels, another traditional dish from the south west of France. This has been one of the nicest things about this trip, I get treated to dishes that are very traditional that I wouldn't be able to have on my own. That along with full five course french meals at every dinner and different types of Bordeaux wine, I feel like I'm being absolutely pampered when I am not chasing children around.
