Greetings from France!

We have arrived in Sarlat and I love it!! Beautiful medieval village with photo opps at every turn.

We are staying at a peaceful inn a little outside the village – Les Maison de Peyrat. So quiet and relaxing. Also wonderful tourist info from the innkeeper-Jean Luc. Tomorrow we are renting a car and driving to a large French garden and then to one of the caves with the prehistoric art-Grotte de Fonte de Gaume. It is the best of the caves still open to the public.

Last night we had foie gras for dinner and we hope to have some of the famous black truffles from the Dorgoyne region in an omelet. Followed by a decadent dessert crepe with oodles of whipped cream, some fruit jam and ice cream. The French truly know how to eat.

We stay here two days then go to the Loire Valley with its magnificent chateaus.

We have met so many delightfully friendly and helpful French people. I bought a gorgous European-looking hoodie in my turquoise – jade green colors – from a delightful; free-spirited French woman. It is a fun work of art!!

Time to walk the km uphill to our inn and return later for dinner. Last night we did the uphill walk after dark and in a light rain…it
