We were all thrilled with the experience of Roche St Christophe and from there Albert drove to Montignac where we walked around this old town further up the Vezere River. Then our generous friends provided a picnic lunch at St Leon sur Vezere; Ann found a tranquil spot behind a cemetery, near a walnut tree in a field of wild flowers and they produced baguette, yummy pestos, hazelnut tart, orange, iced tea and coffee!!!. ... a Belgian step ahead of a jug of wine, a hunk of cheese and thee. The hilly cliff country had excited us, the 
green forests that we travelled through refreshed us and the wild flowers charmed us.Arriving back at Les Eyzies we said goodbye to Ann and Albert and we all expressed the hope that we may meet again, Albert explained how convenient Gent is to travellers in Europe and Great Britain - I look forward to following his advice - I will certainly continue my connection with these wonderful people and I anticipate reading Albert's online books about ethical environment.
Dinner that evening in Les Eyzies again took us to Restaurant Chateaubriant (not ...d) with Mal (his wife Margie was too ill to join us), Maureen and Deb from Oregon. Mal took a delicious pot of soup home to Margie and the rest of us enjoyed walking back to Ferme de Tayac to a card game of 500, well done Deb! Mal provided a bottle of red for our added enjoyment.
