The morning started with juice, chocolates, tea, a sweet card and funny coaster delivered to me in bed. Later we were on our way to L'Experience, a French restaurant, for a Mother's Day lunch... meeting Chris' mom, Voirrey. The meal was a delicious 3-course lunch. My choices included prawns with a Marie Rose sauce... chicken breast in tarragon sauce with vegetables & roasted potatoes... creme brulee with forest fruits... and finished off with a coffee (which I don't normally drink) but I did... and I liked it... a lot.
We then went for a drive, heading for the "frozen north"... keeping in mind that the island is only about 32 miles long. We saw many sheep with their cute little lambs... went to the Point of Ayre, the most northern point of the island and stopped for gas in Ramsey, the largest northern town. You will note that one of the most southern town is Port St. Mary which is where Chris and Masha live.
The lighthouse at the Point of Ayre...
Perhaps this story will make one think twice before complaining about our gas prices in America. This is the price per liter and calculates to about $7.75 per gallon. Our $2.50+ doesn't sound so bad in perspective. Perhaps I should not complain to Malikas about the price of our gas.
Dinner tonight is curry by Chef Pukhas... and it's almost time to eat. :-)
