Lobster special

This is a seafood restaurant on the Ile d'Oléron. We had lunch here before taking a little tourist train to a beach close to the Atlantic side of the island. I don't remember what, specifically, I ate, but I know it was seafood.

L'Albatros at St.-Trojan, Ile d'Oléron, May 2008.

Today is our first "below zero" day of the winter. It's about one degree below the freezing point, according to our outdoor thermometer. It's probably a little colder out in the vineyards. The forecast is for rising temperatures through the day as another rain system moves in. There's virtually no chance for snow.

  4. I always remember that your vacation at Ile d'Oléron was right at the time when I first realized that this blog, and Ken's blog, were YOUR blogs, and I had emailed Ken via the contact info on the blog... but, didn't hear back from him for about a week, because you were away on vacation... at Ile d'Oléron :)
