Photos from the second week of our France vacation
A PHOTO JOURNAL
TWO WEEKS
SOUTH OF FRANCE
On the way to Gîte Nr. 2, stopped off at Pont
Valentré
Haggling at the antiques market
I got a sword
St-Léon-sur-Vézère
Sarlat-la-Canéda
On a tour of French towns and
villages we stopped off at Sarlat.
The old church had a glass lift going
up the bell tower. Debbie, Dad and I
went up and a tour guide in the lift
told us about the history of the
town.
The three sisters went back the
next day to shop.
8 km walk
Canoeing in the Dordogne, we
rented canoes, one two-people and
one three-people. The longest
combination was Mum and Debs
together, and me, Carrie and Dad.
There was a race, but it’s still
unclear who won (totally our team).
Afterwards we got hot chips and
headed home from the 10 km row.
We had dinner in a beautiful restaurant for the last night. I, as always, chose duck for the main
course, and the adults had a sea bass and rice dish. Then we had desert. Words cannot describe
this chocolatey heavan of a dish. Rich fondant with a fruity middle, on the side a portion of white
chocolate ice cream and cookie. It just made your heart warm.
Leaving this Gîte and leaving France, we drove on to a B&B we had stayed at a few times before,
just on the border. Then it was pretty much straight home. The aunts stayed for one more week
and left on Friday.
We all miss you guys so much,
Lots of love
