Friday Andy had the day off work after, for him, a long week! Wednesday he went on a 30k run up and down hills with a 60lb backpack and Monday he was at work until 1am, stuck on a rocking boat in the English Channel. And since he had these two "stressful" days he decided Friday to take the day off work and show me around Bournemouth. Bournemouth is the town directly west of Poole. It is only a 5 to 10 minute drive away. Those of us Jacksonvillians would call it another area of town. Bournemouth is the place to go shopping in Dorset, being the biggest of all the towns and villages, as well as the place to go out on the town!! I haven't done that yet, but keep looking for I am sure it is not too far in my near future!! Bournemouth is also home to Bournemouth University. It was the perfect day to get out and explore! We strolled around the center of town with me window shopping and Andy pulling me along. We shopped around the small open French market, straight from France, smack dab in the middle of the shops. There were tons of delicious cheeses, sausages, fudge and pastries (Jennifer, you would be in heaven! The biggest chocolate croissants I have ever seen!) We got some super stinky moldy blue cheese, herb crusted sausage and fudge.... YUMMMM! Guess what I picked haha. I can't wait to visit France if just for the food! We then headed into a small local Irish pub and had a cider. When we got home we got take out... Indian, surprise, surprise, drank wine and watched Forrest Gump!
Saturday we attempted to walk around Poole, but after that bit of wine, decided we were much better at vegetating and watching an array of college football, soccer and rugby while eating fudge, cheese, and sausage.
