Bernie and I have settled in nicely and I think our French is improving marginally.
Yesterday was a perfect day and a big surprise because the weather forecast was for rain all day. We drove the the Abbey Village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert in the morning and explored the abbey and the narrow little village that is set in the valley between two mountains. Had a wonderful picnic lunch, more like a feast, from items that we bought in the Les Halles Market in Beziers earlier in the morning.
In the afternoon we drove down to the Mediterranean to the town of Sete where the Canal du Midi finishes it's cross country trek from the Atlantic. A beautiful busy little sea port town a few kilometers out side of town we stopped along the sea to watch the breakers roll in from the open sea. The beach was miles long perfect sand and seashells every where.
If you click on any of these photos it should take you to my flickr account and you can see the other pictures that I uploaded yesterday. I may not do that too often it took an hour and ten minutes in the Cyber Cafe sitting there watching the computer to get them on my account.
I haven't bought any of these yet but I think I will just to see what they are like:

Dear Dale:
We only had Sardines once in Françe. (Too many other good things to try.) The dish was Sardines Provençale en Papillote. We had it for lunch at a restaurant in Coullioure.
We both liked it very much. The flavor of fresh sardines is much better than that of canned.
We are enjoying reliving our trip to Beziers through your adventures.
Best Wishes,
Pat and Marc.
Hi Pat and Marc: I was in Coullioure yesterday. Beautiful and quite by accident we were at the sea side cafe when some sort of children's festival happened a marching band with children following in costume like it was Halloween. They were following a cart pulled by a donkey with a large read faced figure on it which was covered in little bags of sweets.
Glad you are enjoying the blog.
