26 September Saturday

Marlene is shown seated on the veranda in back of the farmhouse where we stayed. It overlooked a large open field with grazing horses and provided us with a beautiful view of the village nearby.

Earlier today we bid farewell to Didier and Roselyne. Oh, not to forget Arthur. We headed north with the city of Honfleur in mind. What a beautiful city on the coast immediately across from the large port city of LeHavre.

The harbor is encircled with beautiful half timbered houses and we arrived on market day. The center of the village is blessed with small streets that circle up and away from the port providing us with beautiful shops and lovely stands of fruit and provisions for our daily picque-nicque. Every day that we were on our trip we enjoyed a picnic. The weather was warm and the countryside was rife with places to lay out our small cloth and our luncheon provisions.

We enjoyed our lunch in a coastal town beyond Honfleur and continued our journey through a most beautiful area of homes and farms, all intertwined along the way. Corn on the coast you say ... it could'nt be more true. Our intention was to place ourselves in close proximity to Mt Saint Michael.

We found a small farmhouse near a village within viewsight of Mt Saint Michael. We had leftovers for dinner in the backyard patio. After that we visited the nearby town and scaled the castle walls and watched the sun go down over Mt Saint Michael.
