This weekend we went to see a French movie [Journey to the Center of the Earth] on Friday afternoon [with the school], went to the town of Dieppe on the sea shore on Saturday [an all day trip (there and back by train)]. Dieppe is a very pretty town on the beach. It is the nearest beach to Paris so it was somewhat crowded. We took a promenade by sight seeing boat--out to sea and back. also took a sightseeing ride around town on a little train. Had a wonderful seafood lunch at a highly recommended restaurant in town. Dieppe is a major fishing port so all the seafood is Very fresh. The wives of the men on the smaller fishing boats sell last night's catch at stands right outside the tourist office.
We go every Sunday morning to a large outdoor market [called a marche ] and buy wonderful things for next week's meals.
Today we heard that Lonnie's 94 year old mother is ill [she is in a nursing home] so we wait with much concern to hear about her [we hope] recovery.
