MONPAZIER, BIRON CHATEAU AND PREHISTORIC PARK - DORDOGNE

This is how i would look if i was a caveman. Notice how my head is so small compared to my body.

This is an example of how they built the troglodyte houses into the cliff.

This is one of the real caves that used to collect water that dripped from the rock. It also protected them when they were under threat of attack.

This is La Roc De Cazelle. It showed us the history cave men as well as caves and a real troglodyte home that the people only stopped living in the 1970's.

This is me in the attic of the castle. The roof is made of tiles. The tiles had a hook bit which allowed them to hook onto the beam and not slide off the roof.

LOIRE - VILLAGE ETABLOU

My directors seat

Wheat fields surrounding our property.

A castle in the village near our house.

The house where we are staying.

Right now I am in the Loire region of France in a country village called Etablou. We live in a cottage with a big backyard and swimming pool. Surrounding our house are huge yellow wheat fields. I like it because it has a large area to run around. There is a little path that goes through a small forest near the house. The weather is getting warmer. We have a swimming pool and we went for a swim. There is a nice cherry tree behind the house that I climb. I call it my "Directors Seat". Our house is hundreds of years old and has big wooden beams on the ceiling and shutters on the windows. My bedroom is in the attic and is like a little cave.
