We love my beautiful Morbihan and it shows…! One of the highlights is the many islands (about 50 with 24 inhabited) in the Gulf of Morbihan and into the Atlantic Ocean on wonderful cruise ferry boats. I told you once, let me tell you again one in the Gare Maritime of Vannes !!! This time even better as with more time we stopped for an apéro , apéritif sort of happy hour before heading back home, and a new spot we passed by and finally stop in.

The Awen Brew Pub at 1 Rue Gilles Gahinet. They offer 21 pressure spouts and a fine selection of alcoholic drinks . You will see concerts, events, live sport games. A super friendly domestic animals enthusiasts which gave us a wonderful time and our boy Rex could mingle with other dogs very nicely !!! It has a wonderful terrace with plain view of the Gare Maritime or ferry terminal literally across the street. We had several drinks including the locally brewed Awen blonde beer !!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
