A quick update after a sodden day in the Perigord. Some thoughts:
- Markets in this region are fabulous! There's a roving schedule where each town hosts an open-air or covered market once a week, selling local and seasonal produce as well as brocante (bric and/or brac).
- As we travelled from Quercy to Perigord the houses turned from white to golden, reflecting the change in local rock.
- The villages around here were built in medieval times (and sometimes before) when the rivers were the primary source of trade and transport.
- We've hit chateau country! There are some very grand houses and grounds to ogle as we cycle.
- We've come across many walkers travelling through France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. This is a three month pilgrimage to the shrine of St James. Just follow the clams.

It all sounds wonderful - the only negative is the cycling. Judi came up last week for the day, nearly brought Trevor but decided against it. We had a great day together, as always. Going to Sydney on Saturday to say goodbye to Alex and Esther and to see the film of the two ceremonies. What will you do when you get off those bikes? See you soonish.
love from Auntie Vonnie and Carl

Dear Trev - all the training seems to have paid off. Hope you continue to enjoy your holiday in Downer. Be extra special nice to your best friends (especially the one that is allergic to you). Love from us (PS your spelling is appalling).
