My first trip outside of the USA (for 3 weeks!) ~ we got to see England, Scotland, France, and Spain. Oh, and saw a few TBs along the way, also.

Figeac, where history and beauty collide in southern France

What an amazing little town!!!  Medieval buildings and homes that were constructed hundreds of years ago still stand, representative of the pride of the town's inhabitants.  While walking through the little alleys and visiting the shops, historical aspects of the town were evident everywhere.  An enormous replica of the rosetta stone sat in a courtyard tucked away from the main marketplace, and it's french translation was scrolled across a glass window nearby.  The shop vendors were incredibly friendly despite my pathetic attempts to speak in half english, half broken french.  Oh, and their pain au chocolat was better than anywhere else!  Yummy!
