Monday--rain again, but only when we were inside the caves, as J-L predicted. We spent the day with Jean-Louis and Elisabeth. The exact, full-size replicas of 90% of the Lascaux cave paintings were incredible and a must-see for me. I now can close my eyes and play the cave images in actual size and color across the screen of my mind. Jean-Louis made a fresh cream, cheese, and ham torte in flaky pastry for our picnic--from our first visit to France we learned to love the French concept of food for picnics. Returning from Lascaux, we stopped in hamlets across the countryside and close to Montagrier visited 2 more family mansions. Elisabeth's family, we learned, has been in this area for at least 800 (sic) years.
