We have clocked over 1,000 kilometers, via car, over the past week and it still feels like we have only just begun to see this region of France. Fortunately, the weather has been superb and the spring colors have been glowing. The digital camera allows me to take photographs at every corner, yet they are limiting in telling the true story. I hope to get in more painting time before we depart, but rain could curtail that.
I was deeply humbled by the real cave drawings. It was an experience of reverence as I stared in awe of those early artists. The Montfort Castle demonstrated the marvels of the 11th-century architects & builders. All of this history inspires many moments to pause and attempt to process who and what went before us.
This will be my last entry from France as we depart early Thursday. Thank you for joining the ride and I will post more about the trip next week.
