09-03: Today is a day of rest. Stuart made a nice breakfast for us. We went to dinner at Fanny & Paul’s home so we got to see our farmhouse from the outside anyway. Just a few things have changed. There is a table with benches instead of a table and chairs in front. They also added a lovely planter box as a sort of privacy shield. Things are much the same. Anyway, we had a lovely dinner with constant conversation thanks to their proficiency in English. We had pork “spider” that Paul grilled. It is some portion around the neck from my understanding. Accompanying that was roasted pepper, onion, and other vegetables. Everything was delicious. I forgot to mention that first we had breadsticks, a dip, salami, bread, cherry tomato, and Aperol Spritz. White wine followed that, then red wine with the dinner. After the entrée we had a cheese course followed by dessert, Gâteau Basque, with the Basque cross on top. All the while we ate outside enjoying the lovely weather. To the south we could see Venus as the sun went down. It was a lovely evening with friends.
