Last Days in Esperaza and the South of France

In Campagne Sur Aude
Auberge St Sebastien, Hotel - Bar - Snack 

We have spent this week packing and cleaning,

enjoying the rain, wind and for the last 2 days, sun 

On our last full day in Esperaza,

we take a last walk along the river to

Campagne sur Aude, the end of the "River Walk"

Pont de Vieux to Campagne sur Aude

Cafe au Lait for John and Coca for me
after the walk from Esperaza

Eglise Saint Sebastien in
Campagne sur Aude

Campagne sur Aude is a sweet little village

wonder why we hadn't walked here before???

On our walks by the river,

we met a woman named Abi each  time we were on this road

On our way back to Esperaza,

we see Abi working in her yard with her husband

They invite us for a visit in their patio

We had a lovely time conversing in halting English (on their part)

and terrible French (us) for an hour or so

Abi and Fulvio on their patio with John

Leaving Abi and Fulvio's home
through the beautiful garden

More friends to visit when we come back to Sourthern France

Early Saturday Morning
our last cafe au lait at L'Origin'L

We say good bye to Luc, owner of L'Origin'L
as we leave on the bus for Carcasonne and Paris

Esperaza was good to us
We made some friends from our classes,
our neighbors and Sophie was the best
We will miss them all
Maybe next year...???
