Fete d'Olive Redux


Chris enjoyed the fete for the dancing giants, but I went for the olives (and olive oil). French olives and oil are distinctly different from the more common Italian version and one could taste many different varieties here. It was also a beautiful day at the beach. The beach here is long and deep and, outside of August, not terribly crowded. I think all of the sand on this end of the Mediterranean ended up here, because the beaches further north in the Riviera are almost all rocks.
Today we visited Madam Velarde the Master Ceramicist in Amilie de Bains and started our immersion French lessons in Perpignan. Chanterelles for dinner too.
