The Atlantic beckons!

Soulac-sur-Mer, France

Our destination for the day was the lovely seaside resort town of Soulac-en-Mer. It's a pretty sleepy place this time of year but good for a stroll nonetheless. We toured the church that was rescued from the advancing sand dunes in 1868—Notre Dame-de-la-fin-des-Terres (Our Lady of the End of the Earth). 

Ancient sarcophagi lay outside the church as it was all I could do to restrain myself from testing one out. But fortunately decorum and respect prevailed. Lunch was hard to find but at last we found a restaurant and sat for a while over our food. Thanks, Dad!
