Sunday

On the ridge between the house and Limoux are a line of wind turbines..about 10 of them I think.

we went on the back road last week and came upon a rode that took us up to the ridge. it is quite beautiful there and no people there either...The wind was blowing hard that day and they were spinning!

We decided to go back up there on Friday night to see if we could see the stars..Unfortunately there are street lights everywhere in the towns so it is not so easy to see the stars even at our house..boy did it get dark up there...dark as the inside of a cow..dark...and when the sun went down it was spectacular..and when the stars came out it was awesome...the milky way went right over our heads..and we saw several shooting stars and one satellite!

Below is the view looking from the wind turbines..across the valley.

We went to the marionette fete, didn't see many marionettes..just places that sold them..I guess the festivities began at night!! took a couple of pics.

This picture was taken at a place called Palmier..we just happened upon this fete of farming..the lady in the picture is putting bread into a French army bread oven. It is a trailer that is an oven. cool

there were a lot of tractors and farm equipment, food and old cars..this village had a canal running through it and everyone had a little bridge to get to their home..cool looking..

heading for Barcleona tomorrow morning..to pick up Pat...
