The afternoon clouds hung threateningly low and the wind rose.
We shrugged at the sky and still plunged into the pool for a quick couple of laps. It didn't rain anyway. HA. We were so pleased that we weren't cheated by the fickle weather.
We were kinda aching from earlier exercises already. So today's swim was capped at 30 laps.
Neither of us felt like eating a heavy dinner. So we went in search of something light. We wandered into La Fromagerie to share a cheese platter, a mediocre charcuterie and an excellent French onion soup. Those were really filling! I later bought slabs of epoisses and maroilles home to nibble on.
Then we sidled over to The Book Cafe for the girlfriend to get her caffeine fix. I had a pot lemongrass and ginger tea. My goodness. It was a delightful pot of spicy tea. The teapot was chockful of evenly sliced stalks of fresh ginger and lemongrass. Favorite!

Oh I heart the lemongrass and ginger tea! I always have that when I'm there, which reminds me it's been quite some time since my last visit, time for another!
