Made it to Chalabre & quiet days in Pau.

Here we are in Chalabre at 
St. Martin de Maison, Chalabre

White French Doors to
our apartment


We got to Chalabre late afternoon.
The apartment is lovely.










On the way in we stopped at the SuperU, bought soup, potatoes, wine and a baguette.
Arlette calls to welcome us, says she’s cooking Saturday’s dinner for us so we shall see them tomorrow.
We then have our dinner and bed.



Nothing like soup with canned pâté,
cheese and a baggette


***

We wake up I look out the window
To a beautiful view.



The property is large and beautiful.


Barbecue for Summer meals


Apples on the grounds!

Now for a walk around Chalabre
ending at the Sports Bar







The big brown doors to
St. Martin de Maison

We then enjoy the apartment and wait to go to dinner 
at Arlene and Robert’s Gite.
I forgot to take photos…
We had Pozolé, beer, wine and fruit 
& ice cream for dessert.
What fun we had talking, laughing and talking some more.

It’s Sunday and we’re off to
Rennes le Chateau
to meet Brian and Tina
at Bistro des Amis

On the road

What a view!

Brian arrives

Tina took this shot - 💕



On top of the world at 
Rennes le Chateau

A beautiful ride back to Pau
Through French Villages

Through rainy tree lines roads

Monday…
Before we leave, we meet Robert and Arlette
at the Sports Bar for Chocalate Chaud and Café au Lait


Before we start our trek back to Pau
we check out Rivel…

Yep, it’s still there
doesn’t look like anyone’s in

On the road out from Chalabre…

Back to Pau life…

Beautiful views of the Pyrenees’ foothills


It’s time to paint


A long scenic walk today through Pau

The Japanese Garden




On the other side of the Chateau


I like it here

The Chateau


Now food at Greedy

Shrimp Tacos
I think I liked them



***

Now for some house hold errands…
Laundry and a few grocery items.


Then the walk home - a good one today.




 
We find this monument 



Enjoying the sun today

And the view

At home for snack dinner
On the balcony

***
Went to the Super Mall
for our food and personals
Took and hour by bus because of rain

John at the counter - see him?

The Mall

Got home and finishing up my watercolor
of the Pyrenees view

Now it’s time to put my feet up

Nothing planned for next week
Adventures to be found
