When we went to Vancouver 3 years ago to visit Lucie's friend Vincent, who was studying there briefly,  his roommate Claudia, who studied bees, showed us a great time there.  Coincidentally she just arrived in the Dordogne to visit Vincent, the same day we arrived.  Thomas, Lucie and I went over to Vincent's house for dinner.   In his family for generations,  this house, in various states of repair and disarray,  was a great thing to behold.  Some of the rooms are very slanted,  others have secret doors,  or bottles of homemade spirits,  or tombstones to neighbors graves,  or the foreleg of a goat that was once used to ward off the devil. 

Today Thomas leaves for China, a 2 week tour with his music.  We learned he is going to do a Pacific Northwest tour this fall too, which we were excited to hear.

On an unrelated note....here is a video of a Bonvalet river crossing, and a photo of a boat cemetery in Brittany.

I specifically enjoyed how you told of the house of Vincent's family.  Very intriguing!

The photograph of the boat cemetery is captivating!

Lucie looks like she is having a delightful time there on the bridge!

yes it looked like something out of an old haunted gothic tale
