Every wednesday, and I believe saturday as well, collioure plays host to a farmer's market. I is full of everything you could imagine. So after about ten hours of sleep Megan and I headed out to peruse the wares. Nothing in Collioure is far away and we literally were around the corner from the market.
After grabbing a couple of chocolate croissants, and discussing how in our current state we really could use a Denny's, we began walking and looking at the various things for sale. Everything was available. One vendor would sell t-shirts while the next is selling toys. Another vendor would have artwork and yet another selling hats. The real fun came when we crossed the street into the food section of the market! Yummy! There was bread and cheese vendors, fresh produce, etc. We grabbed a carton of amazing olives, two types of tapinade, a loaf of bread, salami and fresh strawberries and headed to the beach! What perfection!
We spent the latter part of the morning and early afternoon sunning on the rocky beach of Collioure.
It is now such time for a nap and we are going to take advantage. We are still unsure as to whether or not we are going to be able to leave Collioure, not so much that we want to stay--we do, but more because we don't know if the strike is still ongoing or if we can in fact catch a train tomorrow (7 hours ride to paris...yuck.)
I am investigating rental car options.
Anyway that's it for now
