RE: The treasures left behind by my great-grandfather #3
Thank you for sharing these beautiful paintings of your great-grandfather. I especially love the story you tell about him because it makes him alive for us readers.
How are you doing in Reunion? Here in the Morvan, it's snowing when I write this comment. It has been raining a lot lately, so the snow is a nice change.
Thank you @clio. It's lovely to hear from you. Can' believe it is snowing... a nice change from rain that's for sure!
We have been very busy since landing 4 days ago. Getting used to the heat, humidity, new job, delicious (but expensive food), wonderful people and beautiful landscapes. All is good :) Travel blog to come soon!
I look forward to your blog! Is the food so expensive because much has to be imported?
I am sorry to say that the snow already disappeared. It's raining again. But we go out for a lovely dinner in Autun, with some tasteful burgundy wine, it will a lovely evening despite the rain.
Yes a lot is imported, but we are also in the city center for now, trying to get our bearings quickly to then hopefully wander out a bit and find the local/hidden restaurants which should be cheaper.
Supermarkets seem to sell most products at much higher prices though.
We have yet to try local street markets where I am hoping fruit will be super cheap.
Have a lovely evening and enjoy the best wine in the world! haha
I hope you will find these local street markets, they are often a lot cheaper than the supermarkets and have fresh fruit etc.
We had a lovely evening yesterday. I ate escargots as a starter (12!). So delicious!
