Oct 23 & 24 - Canet-en-Roussillon

10-23: Canet-en-Roussillon. I contacted the cousins by email this afternoon and we will wait to hear back from them. Stuart walked to the nearby Carrefour for a few things and noted many restaurants and cafes along the way. Since we have a washing machine it is time to do laundry. The wind wass really blowing and even blew over our drying rack. Yes, a drying rack – dryers as we know them are not common items and homes, but luxury items. Sand is blowing and the water is rough this morning. While we saw many boat yesterday, there are none today. It was windy and cold all day. By evening we have very dark clouds but no rain ever came.

10-24: Canet-en-Roussillon. Temperature is 60˚ today and the wind continues. We do see a few people out in the water walking for exercise. The water is 67˚so maybe it feels warm to them? We also ventured out for a nice lunch. We love sitting outside but it was just too windy. Stuart opted for the hamburger but I had cannellonis de joue boeuf confita, bechamel a la tomme catalane, (which translated to confit beef cheek cannelloni Catalan tomato bechamel), It was superb. The rest of the day we spent inside playing cards and Rummikub. We both have a bit of sniffles, which we hope will go away.
