Souloc Sur Mer

Up around 9:30. Neither of us felt like eating breakfast so we went outside to catch the shuttle to Soulac sur Mer. The area around the port is barren marshland. Luckily we did not have to wait on the gangway line for our shuttle stickers on our cards since we’d finished registering yesterday.

We headed back around 12:30 since most stores closed from 12:30-2:00. I learned that through research. Others had no clue and proceeded to complain how stupid it was to close in the middle of the day. Didn’t they know we had a limited amount of time to bless their silly little town with our esteemed presence? 🙄 and wouldn’t you know it…we had awful weather.

Chilled for a while in the room, back down for word scramble…I wanted an ice cream so we went up to the buffet. I was waiting on mom to go through the handling station when I backed up to turn and ran into/got ran into my a lady with two plates behind me. Nailed my shoulder blade, got really embarrassed and left. Talked to Greg and Kyrie and felt better. Still deciding on going to the show tonight or not…Read more
