We kicked off our weekend with a visit to one of our favourite Japanese restaurants on the Cote d'Azur, and currently our local favourite in Cagnes-sur-Mer, Yoko. We just love this place - it's authentically Japanese, reasonably priced (for a Japanese restaurant, that is...), and the food is absolutely delicious. And the waitress-chef is just lovely as well. As always, we really enjoyed our meal here this night.We'll be back, that's for sure!
The next day, we'd been invited over for dinner to Claire and Antoine's place over in Carros. The usual suspects were present, that is to say Claire, Antoine, the kids, Julie, Aurelien and Sarah. Me and Mathilde had spent quite a lot of the afternoon preparing home-made crisps from various suitable vegetables I managed to find at the farmer's market (potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, beetroot...). Quite a lot of effort for something that was a little bit disappointing, I have to say. I think I'll just buy my crisps at the super-market the next time... ;) The meal itself was delicious, as always. This time around, sauercrout & sausages were on the menu - yummie... Great to catch up with everybody as well!
On Sunday, it was time for the crazy Finn to take part in the yearly Cagnes-sur-Mer Christmas swim. Well, the temperature was a rather humane 16.5, so not that much craziness was required, really. Good fun, all in all, it got pretty crowded on the beach, with 300 participants (ranging from an age of 12 months to 93 years!).
And I even got the shake the mayor's hand, as he handed me the certificate! I think I might just do another winter swim a bit later on, it was pretty refreshing!
