Expoling Southern France

Today started rainy whih was ok because we had to go to the airport to pick up our rental car - an Opal Corsa Deisel. We took a drive south to Esparenza to see the local Dinosaur Museum which was small, but really well laid out. They have made some significant discoveries in the area, and even have some displays about the famous Burgess Shale from BC and Alberta! After visiting there, we took a look at the Chateau Cathar at Rennes, which is high on a hill over-looking vallies and vinyards, and has views of the snow-covered mountains to the South.

We returned to Carcassonne for dinner and a beautiful clear sky followed by a dazzling sunset. Sadly I cannot add pictures of Carcassonne on this computer at the hostel. If you'd like to see more, go to www.carcassonne.org
