Life on Board, Sete (France) Barcelona and Pezenas (Spain)

Several times each week the ship puts together an elaborate themed dinner. This evening highlighted  bouillabaisse, seafood and fish entrees. It was delicious!
French onion soup

Cheese stations

Art using bread
A passenger had an issue. For some reason, his credit card wasn't working. Jerry loaned him fifty euros and was paid back the following day
A Sete celebration where rowers joust on boats rather than on horses

Barcelona is a port used  to receive vehicles produced in Tunisia
In addition to cars, tucks and vans are also imported

Local bocce/boules tournament

There were hundreds of participants

All the players were very serious about the strategy and winning

Pezenas is a small town in the middle of nowhere that was well worth the visit
We had a chance to visit an old, multi-level home or villa



This town became a home for Moliere - the famous French writer for theater

There were interesting photo ops throughout the town


Old door knocker

The town became famous (in part) for its old wooden doors

Looking up at a villa opening

There were high-end stores in the town

This pie looked interesting until we found out it was filled with octopus

Anyone for paella?

How about a picnic?
