Then we went to visit a grotto. It was a gigantic hole in the ground which led to an underground river and a long cave with stalagtites and stalagmites and everything. We took a boat on the underground river and had a good tour. Here is a picture from the bottom of the hole looking up, before any of the good stuff even started:
From there we returned to Rocamadour, a town literally built on the side of a cliff with a monastery on top. It is quite amazing. We went to the top and walked around and it was really spectacular. Here is a view of the town from a distance. We think James Bond's mortal enemy lives on top where he rents a room from Hogwarts:
We walked from the bottom to the top. It was fun.
From there, we drove through really pretty French countryside in the Dordogne region. It must be the walnut capital of the world! There are tons of walnut groves and orchards! There are also lots of little farms with geese and sheep and cows. They brag about their foie gras here.
We're staying in a small town here in Dordogne. Tomorrow we're going to the Lascau caves to see where the cavemen and caveladies drew on the walls thousands of years ago. But currently it is 11:20 p.m. and freezing outside here, where I'm sitting, which is the only place I can seem to get an internet connection. And I cry UNCLE! so I'll check in with you soon.
