More Graffiti for a Birthday Girl

 Today is sartorias ' birthday.  She's doing something neat on her blog; she's inviting people to help her celebrate by sharing beautiful/inspiring things.  So, I'm putting up some prison graffiti photos from our trip to Loches that I didn't use the other day because she mentioned liking such stuff.

( big photos (the better to see the writing) )

Go wish her a happy birthday, too, if you haven't done so, and while you're there, take time to read through the comments and check out people's photos, links, and poems. There is some good stuff to be enjoyed...and some weird, like funky crochet exhibits. o.O

Carcassonne

Julien's grandmother lives in Carcassonne, and as always we went to visit her during our trip south. This time, though, Julien and I took the time to vist the City, the original fortified town, one of, if not the, largest fortified medieval towns still in existence in France (Europe?...too tired to look it up). Soëlie must get to know the birthplace of her father, non?
