Several neighbors have been very kind to us since we arrived in Lectoure. We invited them for aperitifs this evening. Everyone came bearing house warming gifts, Lectoure kitchen towels, locally grown and dried prunes, candy, and a matted photo taken nearby by a neighbor that is a professional photographer. We gave them a tour of the house, and then filled our glasses for a toast in the garden room. We ate and drank wine for a couple of hours, watching a hot air balloon take off downhill of our house. It was a beautiful evening. We’re grateful to have wonderful neighbors!
