What a day

Fête de St. Jordi (George) in Peripignan. All along the flower-decorated quai, were tables from indpendent book stores and several tables featured authors with their books. A place that celebrates writers and writing is wonderful.

I doubt if the dog had written any books but he was happy to enjoy watching the passer bys.

We ate at one of the restaurants along the quai. They had Bric, a Tunesian dish with cheese cooked in phyllo dough.

We headed over to the movie theatre that has been in operation since 1911 and which shows vo films.
I always want the version original with or with out subtitles. We saw The Best Offer with Geoffrey Rush and munched sweet popcorn.

Then we visited the different flowered fountains. The one with hoses has been there since the 1400s. Each fountain had music and there was dancing in the streets. One young man was dancing with an older woman until she said she loved dancing but just didn't have strength to keep dancing.

We stopped at a garden store and escaped WITHOUT buying the cutest little black fuzz ball. I could just imagine my housemate's face when she gets back from the US to find it in her living room. She's a marshmallow, but I'm sure puppysitting when we're in Russia is NOT on her list. But it was so, so cute.

Ice creams were absolutely necessary on the way home. We stopped at the beach so I could read from Murder on Insel Poel. We are trying to get videos for each of my books to add to my website www.donnalanenelson.com 

A stop at the golf club and the kebob place put a perfect end to what was a perfect day.
