We drove from Domme to Limoges today and turned in our rental car. We ate at Jules Verne in the Eiffel Tower. Six-course meal tasting menu. Two fish courses, two desserts, veal and a wonderful Medoc, Riesling and Gewurztaminer. We skipped after-dinner drinks The tower is amazing - it sparkles at night on the hour. The city has krunk as Francis would say. The French have enjoyed my cowboy hat; they all ask if I am from Texas and I say yep, from heaven. Train travel is wonderful comfortable and on time. I am ready for Paris in the morning: I hope they are ready for me. I had four hours with my folks on train today in a car facing each other, visiting, listening to Dad (our tour guide) explaining what was next on the train. It does not get better tan this, folks. We saw fifty or so groups of hunters from the train out with dogs on a Sunday afternoon. Rabbit, pheasant or pigeon. Don't know but they were out in force enjoying a wonderful day as we were. I am lucky for many reasons. Thanks, everyone.
