• Tuesday June 10:  Boat ride on the Dordogne River, stroll and shop in Domme
• Wednesday June 11:  Morning market in Martel, walk through Rocamadour, picnic lunch, shopping in Sarlat
• Thursday June 12: Drive to Limoges, visit some porcelain shops, drive to Paris, take the metro to the hotel (a story in itself) and get a good night’s sleep

As you know, I have not had time to post every day.  Not having Photoshop at hand has made the process of selecting, adjusting and resizing photos for the blog a lot slower.  When I shoot, I generally underexpose a bit so that I don’t blow out highlights and skies — I figure I can go back later and brighten the foreground in Photoshop.  But since I do not want to post bad photos here (ca alors! – my reputation!) I have only been selecting shots that are rather evenly lit.

Here then is a collection that spans the time from our arrival in Sarlat (we stayed at La Lanterne, a warm and friendly B&B with superb breakfasts) to our departure for Paris.  The captions help tell the story.
