Week 9 in the South of France: only 3 more weeks...

4 rue Barbes
Pink Wisteria Blooming


We are still recovering from last week,
hoping that no more surprises pop up.


____*____

Weather is nice, so we take walks along the river…


The river Aude is still a little rough
after the rains

Walking between the river and homes
Lots of folks walking their dogs

Wisteria in bloom everywhere

Ruins of an abandoned farmhouse

The beginnings of a small vineyard

The trout reserve

The French farmer's garden
He seems to be here every time we walk by

Byciclers abound here in "Tour de France" country

On our way back home
thru back streets near the river

We're almost home...
Eglise St Michel in sight
(Rennes le Chateau in the distance)


____*____

We go to French Class
and after class we have cafĂ© au  laits
with our classmates  at  l’Origynal.


Good conversation and Cafe au Lait here . . .

We are looking to rent an apartment in Pacific Grove and are having trouble with online forms.
Very frustrating, we can't seem to be able to do what we need online.
Sooooo, 
Saturday we find ourselves going to Carcassonne –
the only place we can print out documents from online emails,
sign them, and fax them back to the rental agency in Pacific Grove.


Waiting at the Gare for the bus

The stop in Couiza
buses are rather new & very comfortable

After taking care of our business,
we relax a bit in the Carcassonne Plaza


Before going to the bus stop for our return
we go to the train station to buy train tickets to Paris
Take a look at that sky and clouds - beautiful sight

Waiting for the bus back to Esperaza


The final turn towards the
Esperaza city limits - looks like rain


Print Day In May… 5/5/2012

I had been waiting for this event for about 2 months
but with the trip to Carcassonne...


All supplies and paraphernalia are ready to go for printing, but...
all that got printed was the rental form


____*____

Another look at the Dimanche Marche on Week 9


Seems to be a few more vendors

Still lots of beautiful fresh vegetables

Musical noise makers available, too

Fromage and miel along with Blanquette available

Our next door neighbor - Brunch Shopping
Lorenz chatting with customers


That's about it for this week...
Next week???
