Oct 25 & 26 - Collioure & Banyuls

10-25: Didn’t leave the apartment today. Stuart has more sniffles and feels pretty punky. I worked on the trip album, which I haven’t done in a while. It was a pretty day outside and a little bit warmer. There we lots of people on the promenade, on the beach, and in the water. The water depth goes out very slowly. There are groups of people who apparently exercise by walking waist deep or so in the water. We ate baked potatoes with chili for dinner, and a pizza and a salad for lunch. Hoping to do some exploring tomorrow.

10-26: Stuart walked to a nearby shop and got us pastry for breakfast. We did laundry and then headed out for adventure. The weather is supposed to lovely today in the lower 70’s. We drove to Collioure, which is a lovely city on the sea. It was very crowded there. We drove around trying to find a parking place but we finally gave up and went on to Banyuls. The drive was lovely through the rolling hills and terraced vineyards. We did find a spot to park in Banyuls. We walked around a bit and had lunch there. It seems to have changed a lot since 2000, no surprise. On the drive back we stopped at a little shack for a wine tasting. I bought some aperitif wine for the cousins and a bottle of rosemary vinegar. We just had cheese and crackers for dinner because we were still full from lunch. The full moon tonight is amazing.
