Time for a look around here... maritime museum, the harbour and a bit of the town. Lots of history about boats and the local fishing industry in the museum. We got an English copy of the information to read ... the part about the fishing industry was very interesting ... and really helped when we watched the video, which was all in French. What a hard life fishing must have been years ago!!! Lex really liked all the info about old wooden boats, naturally, and boat building tools and techniques.
We watched a ship go out through the harbour and stood for ages watching the power of the ocean. Cloudy and very windy again today. There are 5 big wind generators (for power) on a hill near the town ... so I'm guessing wind is a fact of life here. Tried to capture wave forms on camera ... not as successful as we had hoped.
Back home early to plan the route for tomorrow ... as we DRIVE away from here. Who knows where we will end up ... there is a plan ... but just in case we go via the 'alternative route' I'm not saying what the plan is!!!BTW Soph, you'll be pleased to know that the interpretor you gave dad for Xmas is our constant companion. It's had lots of use in France and Germany ... doesn't help me speak any better, but certainly helps us understand more written text. There are lots of words it doesn't know though ... so at times we just give up.

France sounds like a wonderful place and very beautiful!! Glad the interpreter is helpful
Oh and I do love the pictures from yesterday at the beach - you're right the seaweeds and rocks and moss and all are right up my ally!!
