We had a slow day getting up…again. I think I’m going to buy an alarm clock. However, when we did eventually get up, the kids and I spent some time in the backyard of the Gites before heading out to Lavaur. On the way there we stopped in on the small and somewhat deserted town of Ambres It was a wee town located on top of a hill and had absolutely nobody there, except us of course taking pictures here and there especially of the French Flag. It had a wonderful panoramic view of neighbouring areas. Can’t wait to visit them all.
After that we went on to Lavaur to pick up another cell phone for Diane, stop to have some ice cream, avoid the doggy poop on the sidewalk and then do some grocery shopping. Super day! Then we topped it off with an attempted swim in our pool. We attempted and found it to be too cold (18 deg. C) so we abandonded shortly after. The kids managed to amuse themselves around the pool for a bit before we headed off for a home cooked meal á la Diane.
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s Easter trip to Albi.
Happy Easter to everybody. Albi looks spectacular on Wikipedia. We are looking forward to your report and photos.

The weather has indeed been great so far. I think it was 20 celcius here yesterday but apparently BC had some nice temperatures too yesterday with 23 celcius in Vernon.
Happy Easter, or, as they say in France, joyeuses Pâques!

It was warm in Vancouver, but not 20C. I’d say around 15 at its peak maybe. It’s cloudy even though the forecast was for sunshine.
