July 17th: Chill day at the beach

            Hey, it is Lexi again! Yesterday was such a long day that we decided to be more casual today. It took us a little while to get up in the morning since scuba diving took all the energy out of us. We went down to the lobby and got some breakfast, I made a cream cheese bagel and had 3 cups of coffee; that for sure woke me up. After we got dressed, we looked up some bike rentals in the local handbook.  We only had to walk down the road a little to get to the store. The girls and I  all got a mountain bikes so we could ride either on the roads or on the beach for a small cost of We made some sandwiches from the grocery store that we went to the other day. We packed some water and snacks, and some bird food so we could feed the pelicans at the beach. The weather outside was around eighty-four degrees outside and it felt amazing. We ended up just biking on the beach, which was somewhat hard, but it was worth the exercise, we fed some pelicans and they were all over us. France is the biggest biking country in the world, it host the Tour De France every year.  We were not the only ones out biking since it is such a popular sport on a nice day. Before heading out to the pier for our next meal we showered and dressed our best to attend the Grand Café de Turin.  This restaurant has one of the best reviews in the French Rivera. We ordered an appetizer which included of buttery rolls that melted in my mouth.  Whatever they put in them was amazing because we could not stop eating them. Finally, our lobster came with a side of salad.  By time I finished my meal we were all stuffed there was absolutely no room for dessert. The meal all together was about $150, which is a lot but it was worth it. Once we got back to the hotel, we decided to have a movie night and watch French Classics.  We ended up watching Jean de Florette, and I fell asleep just an hour in. France has not failed me yet, I cannot wait until tomorrow
