A Little Piece of Canada Landed

Company’s Arrived…a new Dimension  

Today, lundi 09 April 2012, we drove from Gourdon to Toulouse airport to pickup our friends, K & M.
We awoke to heavy fog;  we travelled some narrow, winding roadways with the posted speed limit of 90km until we picked up the A20 (major highway with a maximum speed of 130km).

Easter Monday is a holiday in France and for sure, everything is closed… absolutely everything….well, maybe not some of the cafés.




We arrived back in Gourdon early afternoon; a light snack and then a quick orientation stroll around town for our guests.

In the evening, we made a visit to the Wi-Fi café, La Promenade for a drink and a little bit of dessert ...similar to chocolate fondant & vanilla ice cream. 



Second day of guests, after a goodnights' rest...we ventured out to the Supermarket for afew supplies...



After some info from the fish monger, we purchased some cod for our dinner and some smoked haddock.


Then a couple of different pates for appetizers.


Melon with port and prosciutto for starters


Cod with lemon & herbs..rosemary potatoes


For dessert ...creme brulle with strawberries.

We went to bed fully satiated!!
