Today I walked down to the section called Mariolles. It is an older working class neighborhood with a good Sunday flea market. I had a small lunch at the edge of the market and then continued walking to take photos for paintings. I spent some time working on a watercolor and then headed to the beer festival for happy hour. I talked to some people from Britain who looked like they might have seen the Who or the Rolling Stones in their prime. They were friendly and we watched a demonstration on how to properly pour a beer. It involves the use of a knife. After a while I walked to another place called Poechenellekelder. Here I had one of the best beers yet - the 3 Fontinen Oude Gueuze. After that I walked back to Mariolles to a restaraunt called Restobiers. I enjoyed a 3 course meal which included foi grais seasoned with Abbaye de Rocs and chocolate mousse. I had another nice conversation with two British travelers who seemed to be here for the same reasons. Later I stopped by a Turkish restaurant and ordered an Ayran and surprised them with my Turkish. Sorry for the short descriptions, the keys on this board are all mixed up!
