Macdonald's

Macdonald's does have something here that is much better than the food. We are presently sitting in the only Macdonald's of the region, not because we love the food but because it has free WIFI after all it can't be all bad.
Today we went visiting in the region of Eyzies. This is a region of tall limestone cliffs that are riddled with caves. People have been living in them since the the very beginning of human habitation. In fact there are many houses and whole villages that have integrated the house and the caves.






We also visited a museum than contains artifacts from the caves around the region. This region contains the remains and the art of Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal man. In facts there is probably the greatest collection of cave art in the world concentrated here. In fact the world famous cave art of Lascaux is not 20 km from here, but today they are no longer open to the public because the humidity of the number of visitors was destroying the irreplaceable art. Unfortunately we were too late in the day to reserve a visit to one of the hoer caves so it will be for another day.
For those of you who might be curious about what our room looks like at "Les Morelles" here is our room and a view out of our window.
