Since most of you have never read an Asterix book I'll just tell you that I had wild boar stew the other night for dinner and it was really good. Much of that praise can probably be chalked up to the mole sauce made in this instance with a fair amount of chocolate. So good. I also had Soupe Corse for an appetizer which was basically a soup made up of Corsica's staple products. Vegetables, potatoes and charcuterie, which in this case was some fairly tough meat. Not bad but not memorable. For dessert I had a cheese plate featuring several different types of local cheese each with an increasing level of strength. That was pretty good.
On the way back to the hotel I was going to have Green Tomato gelato but ended up opting for VanillaBourbon instead. Good flavor but probably the wrong choice in hindsight because how often am I going to find green tomato gelato?
Upon our return to the room we were treated to a reasonably impressive fireworks display from the top of the citadel to celebrate the end of the season for B-52, one of the bars on the other side of the marina. Unfortunately this meant that B-52 would be very noisy and crowded and this would probably make it harder for us to sleep. Answer: it did. I ended up using ear plugs for the first time in a while. This was still a great hotel despite the noise.
Here are a couple more images from Bonifacio. You'll get no pictures from dinner because there is just no way to make that stew look good on film.
