Monday is usually a busy day at our house. Thanh came at 10 this morning, for our weekly French lesson. She left at 11:30, and soon after, Rebecca arrived. We met Rebecca last fall when looking at property to buy. Her chateau, built in the 13th century, was very interesting and historic. Within a few moments of meeting we discovered both of us have Kentucky roots. Her father lives in Paris, Kentucky, and Rebecca attended high school there, then went on to college in the northeast, before returning to France to live. We stayed in touch since fall, and after buying our house in Lectoure, Rebecca promised to come visit when she came to L’Ete Photographique de Lectoure. I gave her a quick tour of our house, then she and I went for lunch, and to the Photographique Fete. We had a good visit.
Papa and I framed and hung some art late afternoon. I had a WhatsApp message from our friends Rachel and Sid, letting us know they wanted to meet at Lundi Nuits in Lectoure at 7:45. We met at Chez Yann’s Wine Bar, amidst the hundreds of people on Rue Nationale. Lundi Nuits in Lectoure are full of food vendors lining the streets, plus jewelry vendors, toy vendors, wine tents, and live music, with blocked streets. We had a cheese platter with wine while sitting at a table in the street, and chatted a couple of hours until a local band stopped in front of us, to play several songs. It was fun, festive, and a happy place to be.
We are having a great time in Lectoure! We love walking out our door to so many activities!
