Hotel le Provence Agen

... out of the campground an hour earlier than usual, so that meant that we had about 10 minutes of cool cycling before the heat of the day hit us. Out of beautiful Bordeaux wine country we were traversing on major roads - not as picturesque, but direct and well paved. We are now carrying 3-4 Liters of extra water with us as we have been running out midday. Amazingly, I’m not noticing the extra ...

... and sesame seeds and had thin bread sticks like coffee stirrers. It looked like a cappuccino, but tasted like absolute seafood heaven. It wiped away memories all those shrimp heads in a single creamy bite. My dish consisted of a whipped foie gras base and a perfect tomato slice surrounded by slivered eggplant and topped with a melted, creamy local raw milk cheese. It also had a small salad with pureed red and yellow peppers on the side, but the foie gras item was so good I ...

Although we stopped for many water breaks we finally made it to Agen where we drank a beer on a park bench, like a homeless, which we were.<br><br>Just outside of the city we set up camp off a foot pass next to a huge river. We cooked our food on the rocks next to the river and as the sun set we listened to some wierd animal sounds which for some reason we assumed to be aligators.

It was a long day on the bus, but we finally made it to Provence. On the way we stopped in Avignon to see the Pope's Palace and then made our way to the Roman Aqueduct. After dinner in Provence, we stumbled upon a crazy street party with a DJ. It was fun experience to dance with the locals and get a feel for the flavor of the town. We are off to Barcelona tomorrow!

... behind a very slow truck. On the way up a zigzag hill the truck activated its left turn indicator. I told Margaret that I had read that this could mean that the driver was letting us know that it was safe to overtake. What I failed to add was that it could also mean that the truck was about to turn left. Taking me at my word, Margaret overtook at great speed on the crest of the hill, only to find several cars heading towards her in the other direction. She ...

... display case. By the time we drove north from Seviac to Fourcès it had started to rain, for the first time in months according to a local. Fourcès is an unusually designed village. It follows a circular plan, almost like a maze, with well restored medieval shops and houses ringing a tree-shaded main square. Th**e is an amazing flow** market and festival h**e in Autumn which completely transforms the leafless town square into a carpet of flow**s. A friendly rugby ...
