The Norman Invasion

Going to the grocery store in Normandy is always a fun experience because in no other place will you see an entire walk-in fridge full of Camembert. Charles Neal and I are loading up on supplies then heading back to his newly-purchased farm house for dinner. With the Pays d'Auge as our home base we'll be branching out into Calvados over the next few days before heading down to Bordeaux and the Loire for some wine tasting.

My other favorite part of shopping in France is the plethora of 4.5 liter-sized bottles of spirits. We think we're so cool with our 1.75L handles in the states, but these are on another level. I wish I had a bigger suitcase. The fun starts tomorrow over at On the Trail.
