So here is the ruins of the Chateau de Sade. The Marquis de Sade is an old famous dude that was extremely rich and did a bunch of social experiments with people which almost always involved sex and torture. Then he wrote about it, so they jailed him. But his wife got him out. Then her Mom jailed him again. The tale goes on and on, but you should rent the movie (Quills). Oh yeah, The word "Sadism" comes from this crazy dude. I live for these short weeks in the shadow of his legacy.
This is looking down on a part of Lacoste. Obviously, the whole town hasn't been restored by SCAD, yet.
The clock tower. It doesn't have a covering for the bell so that the sound travels further down the valley. It rings twice every hour - three minutes before the hour and on it. This is so that the farmers down below in the valley and be sure about the time. Idiots.
Flowers in the market in Apt. Great flowers here. Great markets.
Whicked bike in the market.

France is pretty. Who would have thought? And it looks old. Old and pretty. I think I'll go in the fall, weather permitting.

I just got more Internet time, and it looks like I have a buncha reading to do about you in France. Mari is right tho - more pics of you or atleast other ppl;) French strangers love it when you take pics of them!

I have been trying to think to take more pictures of myself. I just forget most times. Also, I can now post the pictures myself instead of sending them to Marigold to post for me, so I should be better about in the near future.
