looks like i am sharing the heat with you folks back home.
i am so overwhelmed with everything i have seen so far i cant really put it into words but i have some pictures so far. lets see if i can download them yes? OH and postcards went out 2 days qgo so….lets see how long it takes.
These are my french cows. There is something special about them dont you think? i havze been talking to the ducks and geese and dogs and cats and cows in french so they will understand me, the humans just smile and nod and i point a lot
So we stopped in the Dordogne River Valley for a quick bite of lunch. while i was waiting for my lunch i ran up to the top of a castle ruin (of course) and am SOOO glad i did.
this is considered a sanwich… the beef and porc melted in my mouth, the onion marmelade and hot mustard oh yeah and the walnut bread and huge salad wasnt so bad either. YUM! i ate it all too
As we were driving along on our first day this little pearl popped into view. i thought about buying it, what do you think? well come to find out these littel hovels are a dime a dozen here! i mean they are everywhere! who knew eh? ok i didnt. this was also in the dordogne river valley
And of course more meat. does it taste better because it is considered vacation meat? i dont know but i swooned right there in the market square in plain site. these people can do things with the piggy that should be offered up as a nobel prize for food
OK so this was my first official still in one piece castle to tour. Apparently Richqrd the Lion Hearted lived here for awhile, i know it is true because i saw his sword and his bedroom! the french wouldnt make this up! the views up here were rediculous and you could see not one but 3 other castles from this one!
below is the dordogne river and i have vivid fantasies of coming back for a really incredible kqyqking trip: people are rafting and kayaking and camping along these river gorges with little towns about 10 km apart (read fresh market supplies) soo many camping fools! i love it!
OK so that is it for now! my hotel is right in between a roman coliseum and a roman amphitheater so i am going to brave the heat and do as the romans do, er french?
