Chateau De Kerjean and Morlaix

We had enough time to enjoy breakfast in the dining room this morning. The Swedish crepes with lingonberries are still on the menu! We departed on an hour bus ride to the Chateau in brilliant sunshine but ran into fog so thick that we couldn't see the Chateau at the end of the driveway. The fog gave the whole place a mysterious and eerie feeling. We stopped first at a stone dovecote that held almost 1000 pigeons that provided food for the lord and was an indication of his land holdings (1000 acres) and his wealth. The castle, built in the Renaissance, is now owned by the local government. Some of it had been destroyed in a fire and the family, now in hard times, sold the stones so it was never rebuilt. We toured through mainly empty rooms with huge fireplaces. The few smelly toilets had long lineups - old women and their bladders - so we left for the town of Morlaix later than planned.
As we arrived in this charming town, the fog lifted and we enjoyed some more perfect weather for sightseeing. The town wasn't destroyed in the war so the original medieval buildings were still intact unlike Brest which was completely destroyed. The architecture was stunning and I took lots of pictures. Others on the tour decided to explore on their own so we were the only ones left with the guide. She spent another half hour with just the two of us then we went on our own through the food market and down some other narrow streets. We met two women who offered to take a picture of the two of us. We chatted with them for awhile before heading back to our meeting point.
Norma has developed a cold and we were both tired so had a nap. I got up for trivia but was on my own. I managed to get ten points out of sixteen. The two men beside me marked my answers and I marked theirs. Between us we had enough points to tie for second. They left saying that they would be on my team today but I will be on a shore excursion and will miss the game. After trivia, Regent hosted their famous block party, and we met the people in the cabins adjoining ours. We then prepared for our big night at the specialty restaurant, Signatures. The meal was superb. Took pictures of the presentation. We ordered the same thing - lump crab meat with asparagus, mushroom soup with candied garlic and truffle oil, tournedos Rossini, and two exquisite desserts that I can't remember the names of. The wines were excellent chosen to accompany the different courses.
We slept in this morning and still managed to make it to the dining room for breakfast. Champagne was offered for some reason and we decided "why not". Thus begineth our day. Have had problems with the Internet, lost two reports that I have had to rewrite. Am finally caught up except for pictures. Now it's lunchtime and off to explore another historic chateau as we are soon to dock in Bordeaux.
