It didn't rain today

So we went for our afternoon destitutional down to the Quays. I have never seen the Garonne look so pretty. Smelt a bit, though.

The Quays run alongside the old warehouses (les hangars) that have been converted into swanky shops and natty cafés. l'Hacienda had a singer singing Spanish-style French songs. The other café advertised pêche de l'estuaire, which illustrates one of the pitfalls for the unwary.

Pêches = peaches
Pêche = fish (in an catching fish kind of way)
Péché = sin

pêcheur = fisherman
pécheur = sinner
pêcheresse = fisherwoman
pécheuse = sinnerwoman
