The "postman" delivering to the house the Stephens stayed in next door to us
Kurt and I went to the marche’ (open air market) in Sarlat this morning. Kurt purchased several kinds of olives. And cheese...so much wonderful cheese to choose from!
Typical booth at the Sarlat Marche'
We stopped at a streetside café and had some petit dejuneur (breakfast) of waffles and chocolate pastry.

Commarque, castle in ruins
Notice the tiny man in the red shirt in the center of the picture.
We were able to go all the way to the top of the tower, stopping at the levels along the very steep climb. It is amazing to imagine the lives that were lead there. The kitchen had a huge stone fireplace with a bread oven and a stone sink like the one in our little house here. There was even a chapel in the castle. At the top, we took a moment to look at the amazing view all around, including a neighboring castle in ruins. It was an easy walk down before the long incline up through the forest to the car. My legs felt like noodles.
Then back to the house for a little left over dinner with, of course, delicious bread and butter. It’s going to be an early night. We are both exhausted.
OH MISS YOU GUYS, BUT GLAD YOU ARE HAVING SUCH AN EXPERIENCE
