The countryside is dotted with many villages and towns, one every few miles down the road. They are all incredibly picturesque and quaint.
First we had a picnic lunch in a church yard.
Then a visit to a hilltop monastery.
There is no police presence here. The monastery appeared to be unstaffed. There are few signs prohibiting you. Everyone seems exceedingly civilized. Jeffrey's French is holding up pretty well, and mine is coming back a little.
We stopped in one town to buy water,
And another so Pau could ride the carousel. There are lots of carousels here.
Hey, Nancy - hope you and Jeffrey are having a great time. It looks like it from the pictures - seems like you’re out and doing a lot of stuff. The pink fabric thing was strange but intriguing. Have you seen any other textile art or art quilts anywhere?
ReplyDeleteI wrote SAQA and asked about members living around here. They gave me the name of one person. I wrote her but she hasn't written back.
DeleteWe are combining touristing with grandparenting. A nice combination. So we go to the playground, to the grocery store, watch French cartoons on tv meanwhile taking in the sights and sounds (the bells).
