Currently Loving Cap Ferret Edition

SUCH a fun afternoon — we thought it was just going to be up and down, but it was a whole boat ride excursion and one of the highlights of the trip so far. The kids went up (I did not), and there were two other French families on the boat so it was fun to talk with them.

Learned from the French that you put ice cubes in your wine to make it fresher and colder and help you hydrate. I am truly a convert now.

Every time we go to the grocery store (every other day) we end up buying more of these. So delicious.

Hands down one of the best mussels I have ever ever been served. This restaurant in general was incredible — if you are in the area, you must eat there (and order the mussels).

We have spent a lot of hours playing rummikub. I love it. Can’t stop.

In Paris, I purchased these crochet shorts from the kids department at their Monoprix — which is half grocery store, half department store. They were super cheat and I love them and have worn them repeatedly on the trip.

One of the things I love most about our stay in Cap Ferret is that you bike everywhere. We bike to the market every single morning, to ice cream, on a bike ride, to the bank, anywhere and everywhere. The whole community bikes — LOVE IT.

The town is famous for its its oysters and there are shacks on the water for oysters. Nothing beats fresh oysters.

The waves at the beach are so fun to go boogie boarding and body surfing, or just stand in the ocean. We have spent hours every single day at the beach.

Every night we walk to see the sunset and its been a highlight — it happens at 10 pm and nothing beats seeing the sun go down over the ocean.
