I’ve had a very nice birthday in Collioure. Jean and I spent a lazy morning in the apartment and then took a walk along the waterfront. Once again the rollers were coming in from far out to sea.
Of course the big waves bring out the commandos for their kayak landing training. People line the quay to watch. We were among them.
On the way around Chateau Royale the waves washed over the quay. By the time we reached the inner harbor we were wet to the knees and our shoes sloshed with each step. It was time for a stop at Les Templiers for a late afternoon libation and a bit of drying out. We had a drink and enjoyed the artwork on the wall.
Once back home Jean whipped up a delicious Thai Curry with chicken, mushrooms, peppers, and coconut. Served with Camargue rice from Provence it was a fine birthday dinner.

Belatedly, a happy birthday to you. Oh la la, for once I did not look immediately at my messages, I screwed up and let your b’day pass. Shame upon me.
Your pixes of course bring about very special and very nice memories for us.
