Winter trip to France, 2003

The main purpose of the trip was to accompany Carol Straffi
to Limoges, to visit Tom Buxereau
and his 2 moms, Christine Gagnol and Cathy Dumazeau.

Christine and Cathy in their livingroom. On our first day, Cathy slipped on the stairs and broke her ankle.	In this cheerful kitchen, we ate many wonderful meals. Outside will be their new swimming pool.
	Some other views of their beautiful house, in Limoges.

Tom took us on 2 extensive sightseeing (and shopping) tours of Limoges:

The building below is trompe l'oeil, a painted, blank wall.
We ate a delicious lunch in the cafe under the wall.

(poor Cathy had to stay home with her broken foot)
