Dinard, France

Day 19, Saturday, September 16, 2023

It is only 800 metres from our apartment to the beach.  There are a lot of large houses along the road.  I think many of them used to be farms but are now in the city. These look like farm buildings and the yard is huge.

Thee is a swimming pool built into the side of the beach that is freshly filled when the tide comes in. This is at 5:45,  about an hour after low tide.

There is a boardwalk all along the water, with large houses and hotels on the hills above.

We watch the ferry to Saint-Malo dock.  People have to walk way down the ramp because the water is so low.

There are boats everywhere as far as the eye can see!

These are the prettiest blue flowers. 

There are flowers all along the side of the boardwalk.  

We walk all the way to the end of the boardwalk and there is another swimming pool in the bay around the corner.  This one is little bit fancier.  I love the big houses on the hill across the water.

We take the opportunity to write our names in the sand celebrating that it is our 50th anniversary this year.

We thought we would have dinner downtown but seems that everything closes up at 7:00 today. I liked this statue of Alfred Hitchcock and ‘The Birds’, and the real birds have it well christened!

We pick up a few groceries in a little shop and head home to make dinner.  Over 14,000 steps today.  I see these strange fruits/nuts on the way home, but have no idea what they are.
