When we left Crayssac this morning, it was cloudy, which was good for driving.
In Sarlat, where we stopped for a walk-around, the weather may have kept the number of tourists down, though it was still crowded. It was a beautiful village, though, and we bought yet another box of local strawberries to have with lunch.
Our next stop was the garden of Marqueyssac. It has dozens of acres of sculptured boxwood edged walks on a hill overlooking the Dordogne River. In one direction, we could see the Rocque, the hillside village we visited yesterday. From another direction, we saw the castle we also visited yesterday. However, as we admired these views, the fog and rain drifted in, and by the time we left, so had the views. On a clear day, they must be spectacular. Fortunately, we had our picnic lunch with strawberries before it rained.
Our new B and B, just west of Sarlat, is run by a retired English Professor from City College in New York City, and his partner of thirty-some years, who was an antiques dealer. They have a beautiful house, and have built four rooms for guests. Ours is large and bright--or would be if it were a clear day. Only problem is a lack of WiFi in the room. Only in the host's house! Excuse us if we fail to write.
