Road Trip!

          This coming ten days is a school vacation and Ed returned from Seattle on Saturday.  We had a little bit of apprehension about whether they'd let him (me) back in to France due to possible noncompliance with an issue we don't fully understand.  But they didn't even check his (my) passport upon arrival in Marseille via Amsterdam. 

          So what are Le General's plans for the next ten days or so?  Can you guess?  That's right!  A Road Trip! 

Setting Out on the Road Trip
         The itinerary is well-planned.  Basically, we'll head west, then north, with stops along the way until we reach the area of Normandy.

         Would we survive the road trip?  Le General was CERTAIN that we would:


          Per Le General's orders, we drove about 3 and 1/2 hours west to the first destination:  Carcassone.  You can find out about it on the internet.  There's a midevil city here with ramparts and turrets and even a moat.  It's neat.  We walked all around:

Entering the Walled City


A sunny spot
The reunited couple
Taking a sip

The narrow streets

Sitting on a Wall in the Walled City


What Happens to Your Brain if You Live in the Walled City Too Long

NEXT STOP TOMORROW:  We knock on the door of Rocamadour!
