The Need for Food

We  have been able to have bread almost every day since arriving in Ambialet.  It is part of the French culture to enjoy bread and wine with meals.  Most of the time we have had French bread that is relatively thin and long.  The crust is hard and at times a little difficult to chew, but always tasty.  One day we had run out of bread and John made a bread run.  The results are pictured below!


I almost felt like a fisherman with a big catch!  The bread was delicious and now we look for other types of breads when we go.  We have also been sampling different wines, because the 2010 wines "premiered" last week and have been sold for pretty good prices.  Overall, however, the wines have been a bit disappointing.  The white wine wass okay, but the rose was a bit vinegary and both reds had an aftertaste.  Listen to me, I'm starting to sound like a wine connoisseur!
