tu me manque larmor

I miss you, Larmor
I try to be pretty careful pinpointing where we live because well, let's be honest, there can be some strange people surfing the internet... and I've watched one too many suspenseful movies. But now that we've moved, WELCOME to our new old home! After moving and going through photos, I probably didn't take enough of the apartment and city of Larmor-Plage (yeah, that's where we lived!), but I think I have enough to spark our memories when we are 90 years old sitting around the kitchen table, drinking coffee and trying to clean out photo boxes from the attic! I talked a little about it but one of the greatest things was watching the tide go in and out a few times a day. During low tide one day, we walked to the edge and I snapped this shot of our little street.
There were four apartments in our building - ours was the middle one, with the blue striped awning. I remember it was really cold the day I took this - that's why only one of the window shades are open!
It seems like the most popular question was "Is it really small?" We thought it was just right! I was actually really impressed with the size. Here's a sneak peak of the living area... and the view. I'd take that again today! I didn't want to bore you with pictures of the rest; it's your standard bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
Before we hopped in the car for Paris, we asked for a picture in front of the building. Can't really see the building, but you can't complain when someone else is doing the snapping.
And then our neighbors saw us leaving so their kids were waving in their pajamas (Wednesday is a no school day) from their balcony and the parents were running down to say goodbye. We ended up staying for a  coffee with them. And they wanted to take our picture a few times. I'm glad they got this one...
Our view, everyday... we were really spoiled rotten. We are really liking Paris, but it will be impossible not to miss sitting on the big patio, sipping coffee, smelling salty sea air and listening to waves crash. Larmor-Plage, you were pretty great!
