Today, the weather finally cooperated, and the sun even came out for a short time.  I was able to paint two pictures today, and still have time to enjoy some tea and later wine with some local friends.  The rain, when it did come was light, and later in the day.  After having lunch at the local restaurant yesterday, I decided to eat in today.  The meal was delicious but the amount of food was more than I am used to eating.  Also, I was the only female other than the proprietor.  It seems that the restaurant is a favorite of all the workers in the area.  For twelve euros or approximately $15, I had a large assortment of appetizers, the main course which was roast veal, pomme frites or french fries and vegetables, and a choice of a piece of lemon pie (delicious) or ice cream, and coffee.  Also included was a large basket of bread, and wine.  Needless to say, I didn't eat dinner last night.
