The Dordonga 2

Hello again, I hope you all were pleased with the last entry. Here is what happened after the second day.

Day 3

The third morning I think I woke up at a record time of 7:30. My favorite father and I went out and saw the dogs that the trainers brought to train for hunting completions. You might think that hunting dogs would be mean but they were some of the nicest dogs I ever met. They were the kind of dogs that when they needed to work the would crack down and do what they needed to work (play as the trainers would put it). After that we ate breakfast and bid the trainers adieu to go and work. The first place we went was the cave at Peche Merle. It was absolutely fantastic. You could not see the paintings very well but it was cool because it was the real thing. The second place we went was Rockamador. Rockamador is a big place where the pilgrimage goes through. Personally I was not impressed because it was a lot like Mont St. Michelle which is one of the seven wonders of the world.
This is a picture of the castle at Rockamador. Ok so it is pretty impressive, but if you saw Mont Saint Michelle than you would think that this is just a wannabe. After this we went to a fabulous gite just south of Sarlat. It was really nice, the grass was green, the flowers were in bloom, it was wonderful weather, and to top it all off we had foi gras. The one thing that I did not like about it is that it was not a good atmosphere and the lady who ran it was strict about where to play. That night my Dad and I went into the dining area to check our e-mail and to watch the RUGBY WORLD CUP. That match was France Ireland. I found out that Ireland has one of the coolest national anthems ever. Despite Ireland having the coolest national anthem ever the lost the match 25-3. Sticking on the topic of rugby, I am actually playing rugby for the little town that we are in. I have to say it is one of the coolest sports on earth. Back to the trip.

Day 4

On the fourth morning I woke up and we mozzied on over to the dining room, and just to our surprise there was an exquisite breakfast waiting for us. After b-fast we made our way over to the city of Sarlat. There we went to a market where we bought some more foi gras and saw many interesting things. I think it was one of the biggest markets I have ever been to. After the market at Sarlat we traveled over to Les Ezyies, a city with a prehistoric museum. It was pretty interesting, but it seemed kind of long. The rest of the day after that we really didn't do anything except go and have a delicious dinner.

Day 5

The morning of day five we did what any other person would do and wake up. After we had another scrumptious breakfast we packed up and moved out. We found ourselves stopping at a prehistoric "setup" I guess you could say. It was a lot like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. It had big dolls set up so they would show you what it was like to live in the rocks. Three really interesting things I learned there was that cave people really did not live in caves, they lived in overhangs on the rock. Another neat fact I learned was that cave people did not know how babies are born so they thought that women were the connection between the earth and the spirit world, thats why the carved the mother earth because they thought that a woman gave birth to the world. Here are some funny pictures of us at this place.
