After a leisurely start to the day we split up and four of us headed to Casteljaloux and the local farmers market to buy cheese. Mo stayed behind and did a 15 km cycle loop along the tow path while Sean attended to some work needs.
Casteljaloux is a relatively small town known for its strawberries, tomatoes and thermal baths in addition to being a source of amazing cheeses.
Once we all returned to the barge it was time to set off down the canal towards our next mooring at Le Mais d’Agenais, four hours away. That meant lots of time onboard to relax with a book or simply watch the world go by.
During one stretch, Allie took on the role of pilot and managed quite admirably.
Then it was back to the hard work of relaxing.
Chef Rich continues to amaze with his canapés, entrees and deserts. And Peter matches wines with every meal. Can you say spoiled?
Tomorrow morning we will move further along the canal then travel overland to the village of Temple sur Lot and visit the Lily gardens founded in 1875 that inspired Monet’s famous paintings.
