Chateau de Bonaguil, Fumel
Stinky Bug
Saw this beautiful vivid red and black striped bug
While gazing at the artichoke plants
It didn't emit any of that stinky odor
That it can produce from a gland in its abdomen
It won the Bug of the year in 2000..
Must be like a Ms Universe contest in the Bug world.. lol

Abbaye de Saint Nicholas de Blasimon
Built between 9th & 14th century
The monks abandoned it during the War of Religions..
I can almost hear the swishing sounds of the monks' robes..

Oh wait..
Maybe that's just the sound of my own skirt..
Brushing against my bag... lol

Picture
Monpazier, France
This medieval square ..
Is claimed to have remained intact from 600 years ago!

The Monpazier villagers wandered one night during the Hundred Years war
To plunder the neighboring town of Villefranche-du-Perigord
Which seemed eerily quiet.
Reason was becos the villagers of Villefranche-du-Perigord
Had gone to plunder Monpazier itself that same night
They then decided to return each other's loot..
Hope they had a little laff about it all too.. lol
