Along the Canal

We are loving France.
A lot of fresh bread and other baked goods.
The roadsides and villages are just what was expected and very...well...French.
We have been riding along the Canal Du Midi. Sometimes the roads are great, sometimes we should only be attempting the road with a well equipped mountain bike. Going down a steep, very rocky decent today, I popped a tire.
What looks like a brigde behind our camp site is actually the canal over the river.

We found a small castle tucked away in a vineyard today and ate tiny apricots till I was going to explode.

Last night was a Nation-wide, French music festival. From the ancient fortified city of Beziers we saw probably 7 different bands of all sorts.

Thanks Dad for the camera!
