Carassonne

Ok so Carcassonne is a beautiful medieval walled city in the south of France. I loved it! The stained glass windows of the catherdral
Oh, a crepe with nutella and coconut, it was so good

I was trying my hand out at photography. I liked this one!


Emeline got a little crazy with my camera




The fair maidens of the castle




















We did get a little lost on our way back to Andorra but we saw a lot of beautiful country.

Toulouse France and a few places in between

Toulouse is a very nice place, my favorite part was walking along the river. It was so beautiful! I rented a car with 3 girls, One other fulbright a lectorer from Wales and the French Prof. from the North of France. It was a lot of Fun. Now I didn't get pulled over. We were actually at a stoplight and the police back up next to us and asked if I knew how to drive my car. We had been trying to figure out the wiperblades and had turn on the fog lights, so I was using them instead of the headlights. It was funny. The policeman actually reached in the car and switched them on for me. They were really nice, even when we found out the driver side headlight didn't work. We then stayed at an estate, It was amazing, for less than $20 a piece and it was by far as good as a 5 star hotel. Wow, I think it used to be a vineyard estate with about 5 different buildings or something but it was very nice. I will post Carcassonne later. Enjoy Toulouse!
