April 10
It was a bitterly cold morning which became an even colder afternoon, but we met John and Ellie at the Mirepoix market and had another fabulous Plat du Jour. Karen and I bought some fashionable scarves to keep warm and some others for fun. We bought 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 sweet potato, 2 white potatoes and a sausage. I couldn't resist a small round of goat cheese. I think we were still full from our Sunday night impromtu soup party! I do wish I had bought some of the antique linens at the entry to the market.

The ride from Mirepoix was one of our best yet. We went back through Leran but turned toward Camon this time. La Garde to Camon was a spectacular combination of the ruins of the chateau La Garde which loomed over the village like a late-century Stonehenge and a driving tour of Camon where a gentle street lined with roses at each doorway led us around the church toward the cemetery and a tiny road which seemed to hang in the air over the tombstones. Whew! After we caught our breaths, we marveled at the shapes and colors from that height. We plan to go back on a warmer day. "Oui, Oui, Oui and a couple of O-o-oohs! All the way home."
