Carcassonne


We toured the town and Castle today.  I think this is probably one of the bext times of year to come to Carcasonne, as rthe streets and castle were pretty empty.  Even though it has a decidedly "touristy" feel to it, it's a pretty cool place.  First, breakfast:

Apparently, architects used to have even more things to worry about than they do today:  they even had to design in treachery-mitigation!





But I managed to displease ZZN

Then dinner at l'Escargot

Road trip!


First stop:  Montpellier.  Ever since our first trip here, I've been wanting to visit again and to show it to mom.  After parking in the terrifyingly narrow underground lot, we had a lovely meal at Didaskali, then walked out to the arcade for some pictures

Next, off to Carcassonne.  I've wanted to go there for a long time, but it's always been a little to far away.  We parked in the Hotel lot, and after a little confusion at check in, dragged our bags to the family suite and had dinner
