In the Dordogne Valley

---

On our last day in Paris we went to the Louvre. It is the biggest museum in the world, and one day wasn't enough. But one week wouldn't be enough time to see all there is to see. We concentrated on the Dutch and Flemish painters, and I especially liked the Art Nouveau collection.

Yesterday, we left Paris and took a five hour train to the Dordogne Valley. We're staying in a charming little hotel above the town of Sarlat.
Unfortunately, the network here is not good, so we won't be able to uipload any pictures for a few days. I can say that the area is beautiful - woodsy, with wisteria and other flowers in bloom, and the trees are light green with spring foliage.

In Paris, it was a gamble to enter a restaurant, and everything cost a fortune. Here at the Hotel Meysset, we have breakfast and dinner. Last night's meal was incredible - fish fillets with nuts, mushroom soup, and we even tried a small duck soup course. The wine in this area is a dark red - they call it vin noir (black wine).

Today we plan to visit the caves, and tomorrow is market day in Sarlat.
Hopefully, we can find a way to upload some pictures soon.
