More visitors! Nico's aunt Chichi and uncle Carlos visited us on their way home from watching Peru play in the World Cup in Russia. Though truthfully, this little farm is not "on the way" to anywhere they were planning to go. Nico says that when he and his cousins were young, they knew that Primo (the nickname for their uncle, literally meaning "cousin") would almost always show up to something if they invited him. Now, a couple decades later, Primo still shows up, even if it means driving into the night to Finistère, the "end of the earth", and leaving the following evening.
We spent a simple local afternoon with them, beginning with...

... our favorite beachside crêperie!

On the way home we passed Kerné, a locally well-known apple cider brewery. Though France is known for wine, wine grapes have historically had trouble in Brittany's harsh climate - too windy and rainy and cold. As a result, the preferred hard beverage of this region is anything apple. Kerné was open for a free dégustation (tasting) of their many different types of cider, les apéritifs, and several types of non-alcoholic juice.

We have very much enjoyed hosting family and friends in our temporary home here in France. It means a lot to us when we're included in someone's visit to Europe, no matter how brief. :)
