The terrace

My favorite part of our apartment is the terrace!  We have a beautiful view of the French low lands and the lagoon.  We also have a covered area with table and chairs where we eat our meals.  Slightly elevated from the main part is a sun deck with a lawn chair which is wonderful for sun tanning.

Yesterday we went to a gardening store to get supplies for our first garden.  Our landlord is thrilled that we want to garden and she has been helping us with getting started.  We planted rosemary, thyme, mint, and basil.  We also planted seeds for squash, arugula, serranos, jalapeños, thai chilies, cilantro, bell peppers, and chives.  This is our first attempt, so we'll see how it goes!
