Otherwise, this has been a more routine week, one where we have been able to catch up with our domestic chores, including reading and the plethora of ABC podcasts. We made another visit to market day on Wednesday at Realmont. We also took a trip down to Castres to check out the town and the excellent Goya museum. Several trips have been made to Albi. A visit to the wine town of Gaillac and the real estate agents located there. The weather has also retreated once again into cloudy days and showers. This has been a very challenging summer for most of Europe. We wonder if we are more sensitized to events being over here with floods in England, fires in Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Greece. Quite a few tourists perishing in the alps as they get caught in the weather changes and here in France, the regular news clips of campers spending their day wading around the campsites cleaning up. More than a few campers have headed home early, umbrella sales have doubled and museum visits and tourist tours are also up.
