Beatrice trying to lock me up in the dungeon!
This morning we drove through St.Fargeau to guedelon about 45 klms away going SE.
guedelon is the building of a castle as they would have done in the 13th century. A fascinating place which we walked around for a good couple of hours.They commenced it 1997 and expect to complete it in 25 years time (2022). It was also the only place that we have seen so many of the locals out and about being tourists. Bus loads of them but still not too crowded that we couldn't enjoy looking at everything. (Check out the website its worth a look)
Made our way home and was surprised to find an ATAC open (supermarket).We were the only people in the place and the 10 or so checkouts had only one cashier in attendance. Clearly the French are not into weekend shopping! Anyhow we bought our cheeses,wine,bread etc for our drive out tomorrow to visit a few more places relatively nearby. We are getting more and adventurous each day.
In front of the TV to watch Australia play Wales. Great game which I'm pleased to say we won.
(Commiserations to the Welsh) However the Welsh really came back in the 2nd half so it was a good job they had left their run too late otherwise they might have got a little closer in the score.
Celebrated with a beer! Next game against Fiji on the 23rd.
France play Namibia tomorrow which they have to win and then they play again against Ireland, on the 21st.
Beautiful day again today the the temp up in the mid 20's. We are really getting to like this place, the country side is just beautiful.
