Excursion deux

This week, we went to Conques with Eric to visit Saint Foy, a romanesque church. Here is a view of the church and the surrounding village from a nice vantage point on the way there:



Don't let this picture of part of the church against the backdrop of a blue sky fool you. It was a rainy day, but luckily I remembered to bring my umbrella.



The inside of the church was beautiful. Everywhere you looked, daylight streamed in through the windows. Since the cathedral is of the romanesque style, it boasts a massive presence, with lots of columns and semi-circular arches.



Here is a picture of the Occupational Therapy girls in the village. There are four of us here: Chelsea, Cat, Shelly, and myself.



Eric is a wonderful teacher and tour guide. He has a wealth of knowledge that he is always willing to enthusiastically share with us.



Of course, just as we were getting ready to leave, the rain cleared up, the sky got bluer, and the sun came out.
