We took a morning stroll up to the tea shop and bookstore and antique shop in Càndes. Eric was pleased to see us. We were the first customers of the day. We had coffee and chatted. Eric told us that his old shop in the middle of the town has been sold again. Last year it was a tea shop and bookstore but that closed at the end of the season. Eric says it is going to be a lamp and lampshade store - like the world needs that.
We walked the long way back to Montsoreau. We crossed the bridge to take a look at the toll the drought is having on the Loire. The level of the river is very low. There are sand bank islands in the middle and wide sandy beaches where there should be water. We even saw some fish in the river, something I've never seen before when the water level has been higher.

Hi you Guys,
Very fun photos. I love the white cat. . . . the oval window? with the sea shell is quite unusual and cool. Talk to you soon. :-)
Thanks for visiting.
I hope you can visit for real sometime soon.
The seashell is associated with Saint James and indicates that the person who lives in this house has made the pilgrimmage to the shrine of Saint James in Compostela.
I wish I had asked Eric what his cat's name is.
