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

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
