Week 2: Mella and Taf do Spain, France and the Pyreneesee

pool, which we didn't use

soaking up the French sun

Perpignan town

Lost in the wee streets of France

Perpignan castle

the river cousin James lost his sunglasses to - funny story!

we tried to find Karl a hat, but none would fit!
Half-way up Languedoc's Pyrénées, Villefranche is a fortified village - with huge, thick, maze-like fortifications surrounding the entire town.

 

French crepes and wine!

cherry-blossom trees everywhere
Les Orgues de Roussilon. Spectacular clay cliffs near the town of Ile-sur-Tet in the Roussillon area of southern Languedoc, that have been sculpted by wind and rain - forming strange organ-like shapes.

Karl (photographer): Show me tiger ladies! lol!
