Les Eyzies....

Saved the best for last.
Just when we thought there couldn't be anything else to wow us.......Lascaux II worth the wait in line, worth the wait for a guided English-speaking tour, and worth going out on a reading-book day.
Copied minutely in 3 dimensions to preserve the originals from 17,000 years ago.
Explained by an art enthusiast, cave painting of mostly bulls (enormous), & horses in 3 colours showing animation and the use of perspective.
Goose farms where a machine force feeds them to fatten the livers.
St. Armand de Colys.......ancient fortified church in small town.....church floor done with paved stones very worn over the years.
Jane & Toby could make a living as tour guides with their research of local sites, history, food, etc.
We got a real introduction to the area and packed a lot into a few days.....wonderful time.

  1. Happy to see you back in WiFi land after what seemed like a long hiatus. Love your pics and stream of thoughts. That's some kind of boat you were on; a far cry from the English narrow boats! Sounds like you are having a great adventure. :-)
