St. Cyprien en Perigord-Home Base!

Here is where we called home for the first half of our trip. The village allowed us to starfish day trips to the many villages and offerings of the region (le perigord noir). Enjoy the photos!

(a few things that happened in the village that are not apparent, but worth sharing are as we arrived there was a nighttime torch light parade/theatre taking place in and around our place. A dance party (the fireman's ball) the night before Bastille Day (Meg's birthday), nothing like some good french 80's music to get the vacation going! This tradition is national in france and is hosted by the firefighters of the village. The next day was Bastille day (france's national holiday) and we attended the town's festivities, dinner, wine, dancing (live band!) and fireworks! It was neat to be a part of a community.
