Chestnut and Mushroom Festival Part 1
We spent the day in Villefranche-du-Périgord for the Fête de la Chataigne et du Cèpe. You can’t take a country walk right now without stepping crunchily on chestnuts; everywhere they are falling from the trees and it’s really unnecessary to go purchase them. But it’s fun to watch them roasting and eat them hot from a little bag (memories of Rockefeller Center) while wandering around looking at other products: chestnuts preserved in syrup, chestnuts puréed, chestnut wood carved into knife handles and furniture. There are also contests for the biggest, the smallest, and the most beautiful chestnut.

Sarlat, Soup, Studies, Scarecrow
Errands and Aïkido
First, shopping for a soccer ball, cheese, and a scanner. All in the same store. Then on to check out the nearby aïkido class.
