La Roque Saint-Christophe, Troglodyte Fort & Town. 29th of April.

We visited a series of hollowed out cliffs, that were homes & places of work from Neanderthal man (50 000BC) to 1588AD.
They had a great view.

Interesting people you meet in these places...

Sarlat, Dordogne.

Our family holiday started and ended in Sarlat. It's 520km south from our house. It's in the region of Dordogne. It's a beautiful region. Most of the buildings old and new are made from sandstone. We stayed in a B&B just out of town, the boys had a fab time running around the grounds and playing in the long grass and collecting sticks.
I'm always behind, carrying bags and taking photos.
This is the land of Foie Gras, fat goose liver... every 2nd shop was selling it.

Max took this photo of me, I think it's a good one. He also took the next 6 photos.

Paris today with Keith Haring.

Today, I ran away to Paris... I went to see the new Keith Haring exhibition at the "Musee d'art Moderne". On the way there, I saw some great pieces of architecture. I love walking in Paris.
In 1997 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, I saw a great retrospective exhibition on Keith Haring. So it was fabulous to see old friends again, this time the giant pots and wooden sculptures were my favorite pieces.
Details on a giant pot.
These sculptures were fabulous.
