Beautiful Bonifacio



Yesterday we went to Bonifacio - a beautiful medieval town set high on limestone cliffs at the southern tip of Corsica.  It is a location that has had strategic importance over the years, and has been occupied by various countries.  It has a rich history, and very interesting buildings.  We ate lunch at a nice little place that served authentic Corsican food - eggplants Bonifacio, a liver pate, charcuterie ( smoked meats that Corsica is famous for) little coppas - dried tomato paste on toasts of sweet bread, and meat lasagna.  Dessert was creme brulee corsica style with chestnut flavoring.  Here is Juniper perusing the menu.


We spent the afternoon wandering the streets, looking at the fortifications, and viewing the city from a nearby lighthouse.  Here are some photos.
