#carousels#merry-go-rounds
Life sometimes can feel like you are going round and round just as if you are riding one of these beautiful "Carousels"!
In many countries in Europe, these are permanent fixtures found in town squares where children can enjoy a ride for very little money.
And, actually as an adult you can also ride and recapture some of your youth.
We don't see these very much in our part of the world, unless it is the visiting midway entrepreneurs at the Fall Fairs.
I have never seen any as beautiful and detailed as the one in Cahors, France all decked out in gorgeous blues.

A double decker carousel ... I am not sure where this was... it could be in Avignon, Carcassonne or even somewhere in Italy!
Even here on a rainy day in April the carousel was operating protected by plastic covers...
This year on our adventure I will be on the look out for these magnificent, playful structures in both France and Spain.
Will I go round and round?
Where is the one in Cahors? I've not seen it?
