We had a pretty good day. It started out cool, but a little overcast. We headed west towards Bergerac. The further west we got, the cooler it got, and the wetter. We passed some pretty towns, some with markets, and got to Bergerac before lunch. It was sprinkling by then. We headed towards Monbazillac, which is a chateau and vineyard. It's south of town, and there were a ton of chateaus and vineyards there. We stopped at the reception center, but they had already stopped selling tickets, in anticipation of closing for lunch. It was raining and mom and I weren't sure we wanted to view another chateau anyway, so we left.
I saw a sign for a town I'd seen a sign for along the way, so we went back that way, instead of backtracking. It was Issigeac. It was a pretty drive, but we kept running into small towns that had the main road under construction and we'd have to figure out how to go around them. We passed Issigeac and headed towards Cadouin. There's an abbey there, but we managed to miss it. I think it's up in the hills. Instead we stopped near the church in town, because there were restaurants and we were hungry.
After lunch we continued back towards Sarlat. We got home earlier than usual, about 2:30 or 3:00. Since it was raining, we figured we'd read or something.
