Duck, duck, goose!

Yes, chateaus and castles everywhere!

It's a family affair!

We are now in the beautiful Dordogne region of France, in the wildly popular town of Sarat a Caneda.  You cannot swing a dead cat without hitting a) a tourist b)an English tourist c) a dead duck and all of its parts. And if you ever thought Truckee had more than it's share of realtors, this town will give you a run for your money! (or euro)
We are enjoying our warm days here, and especially while number one daughter was visiting on her way through France.
She and her delightful traveling companion, Lindsey, spent 3 days with us.  We canoed on the river, toured castles and chateaus and tried our luck with foie gras.

What a wonderfully relaxing and fun day!

 

It is very green here.  This is along the Voie Verte

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More Voie Verte!

 

 

     

We have still been riding our bikes, but this picture is more indicative of our activity level for the past 10 days. 

I finally tried some good foie gras, after being surrounded by it for the past 2 weeks.  Got that out of my system..... Sorry foodies.... not my thing.  This area is also know for walnuts and alfalfa.  My allergies know the alfalfa crop is a huge success, and we have really been enjoying those walnuts on the front porch before dinner. 

It is so wild that it is light until 10:30 at night, and light by 6.  Makes for a short night!  The little 2 year old across the street could really use a little more dark time.... just sayin'.

Night, all!
