We flew to France and made our way to the Dordogne Valley where we stayed at the picturesque market town of Sarlat for four nights, where the narrow twisting alleys are lined with 13th century buildings made from the local luminous golden stone.
Sarlat is the capital of the Perigord Noir and is a remarkably conserved Medieval city. Strolling through the small streets and alleys in the historical centre you are seemingly transported centuries back into a past full of glorious memories.
The architecture was out of this world.
The flowers were gorgeous
And the street lamps ornate
I hope you enjoyed this little taster and will update our travel blog tomorrow.
Bye for now

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I once camped near Sarlat, but at about thirteen, really didn't appreciate its beauty and history! Luckily I will hopefully go there again this summer (er...?) as some frinds have moved close by and we will be going to see them! Thanks for the preview!

ReplyDeleteDear Patricia,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your eye surgery was very successful. I am so pleased. I think it is wonderful that your husband is starting a journal. Will it be script or will he be adding art as well? My grandmother and my mother both kept journals . . . in fact reading my grandmother's is where I learned that I was her 43 grandchild. She had eleven children and I heard that she insisted that the youngest sleep with her and grandpa until he was ten years old . . . that was grandma's way of birth control, LOL. I guess it worked. Journals are a great way to share with the people you love . . . something for them to enjoy long after you leave this world. I also write about my childhood and young married life, and stories about happy family events. These I don't share with my blogging friends . . . these are the little treasures for my husband, daughter and grandchildren. A journal can become a colorful bit of family history. Wow, I've gotten a little carried away with this reply . . . I wonder if you are still reading. Have a great day, I am so glad that you are feeling better and will soon be back blogging. :)
