We are now in Dieppe

Dieppe is a city of about 82,000 people on the northern Atlantic coast of France.  It is an important seaside port and apparently the beach and sites are good.  There is a castle two enormous cathedrals, a martime museum, an aquarium and some importance as to attempts to fight off the Germans(that failed  back in 1940. Victor Hugo uaws this town in his book Les Mismerables. It took us about 3 hours to get here and the GPS did a good job of leading us to the hotel we are staying at which is in the centre of the city. 
We are staying at another ETAP hotel.  They have great prices and comfortable and safe lodging.  39 euros for the night.,  The town looks very historic and quaint. not as cute as honfleur was but I have not seen the whole town yet.  After we checked into the hotel John and I went off to explore.  John has wanted to change some of his US dollars for Euros and we or I might say he flound a post office that also claims to be a bank.  John gave them 230 in US dollars and got  back 167 in Euros.  He was shocked as that is 1/3 less than what he was exchanging.  the euro rate is 1.37 and the bank charged him  the difference in service exchange costs.  The other day the rate was up to 1.57 so it did come down a little.  We had lunch at a cafe on the square called Les Trubunaux.It was a huge building that looked like a small castle.  I have a picture of it..  John had an american large hamburgur and I had a delicious salad called Salad la cambert.  In the salad was a fried egg, cambert cheese wraped in a light flour shell, canadian bacon(?) tomatoes, bib lettuce, endive stalks and a vinigar dressing.  After our meal we walked a little but returned to our room for a nap.  At about 8 we decided to go out to eat supper and found that the town had all but closed up,  we did find a little pizza place open and we ate there.  However coming back to the hotel,the streets were deserted and we did get back to the hotel safely but it was a little scary.  Hopefully tomorrow we will see a little more of the city before we head for Dunkerque.
