Arcachon-Day 2

When we left that morning on the boat tour, it was cloudy and cold. And, of course, I forgot a sweatshirt, so I was a bit chilly on the boat. When we arrived in Cap Ferret, we walked along a touristy street to the Lighthouse. On the little path to the lighthouse there was a display dedicated to light. It talked about white light being comprised of other colors, and there was a station for each color, detailing the regional things you can find in those colors (houses, food, flowers, etc). We then walked to the beach, on the Atlantic side of the peninsula, and just watched the waves. By that point the sun was reappearing. We had dinner at a lovely restaurant recommended by Annie, where we had oysters on the half-shell, and fabulous wine, right on the ocean. This morning, we went to the beach for a bit before packing our stuff to go back to Mauze. We will stay there this evening, then take a plane to Glasgow on Saturday to begin the Scottish (and final) leg of our journey.
