Daniel enjoying local produce

 Bill got his new passport Wednesday June 7 and flew to Paris June 8. His adventures or misadventures continue. His train to Bergerac where we would pick him up is late leaving Paris for Bergerac.  He ends up spending the night in Limoges where the SNCF pays for a new ticket, a night in a hotel, dinner, and breakfast the next day. An SNCF employee  personally escorts Bill to his hotel. He also rolls his suitcase there.  We pick Bill up in Bergerac Saturday June 10.  Fortunately, Bill likes public transportation and is in a surprisingly good mood when he arrives.

In the meantime, Daniel arrives in Monflanquin. As you can see, he adores the local produce. 

Raptor Show at Josephine Baker's Chateau

Josephine Baker's Chateau

Daniel also enjoys sightseeing. We visited the Chateau of Josephine Baker in Dordogne. She was a black  American jazz singer and dancer who became the sweet heart of France. Thanks to a comprehensive audio guide, we learn that Josephine Baker was not only an entertainer, but played a major role in the French resistance movement.  When she moved to the Chateau, she adopted 12 children of different races and nationalities to send the message that we can live in harmony despite our race and ethnicity.  Josephine loved the chateau for its elegance and grace.  She took up farming and looked after her exquisite gardens.  If you are in the Dordogne, I highly recommend a visit.
