Village Forcalqueiret

in #photography6 years ago

I never hear about this place in my life. Just booked a room on Airbnb and set the location on car's navigation.

We find a house spot on. For an oldtimer, it's not easy to keep up with technology but I'm learning on the way. So here we are. Took a walk through the village, get some new shots for you and drinked a beer or two.

Locals are very nice and friendly. They try to help and answer every question. The only problem is, they don't understand English and I don't understand French.

I was buying ham showing five fingers and almost bought 5 kilos of cooked ham instead 0,5. Try to explain a middle age lady zero point five.

But anyway. Here are some photos for you to get the impression how it looks like. Enjoy.

The olive trees are common here. Probably they grow them in the fields for olives too.

For me is summer here; 27 degrees C. I'm sweating.
The pool is great but the water is still too cold even for the frozen Albertan.

That's all for today, my friends. I already booked our next place.

It's funny here in Europe. One tank of gasoline and you reach a new country. In Canada, I can't even get to the next province on one tank. But the price of gas is crazy here.

If I'll get a decent internet connection tomorrow I'll show you some new stuff.

See you soon.

How's French weather like?

Wow, the village is so lovely. Tiny and neat, seems to me like one of those villages where everyone is in everyone's business because it's small and they know each other. Lol

Yes, wonderful place. THX :)

Those 5 kils of ham would last for a loong time. :) Beautiful, really nice to see nature waking up with summer like weather!
Indeed I'm planning to go on a long road trip this year threw Europe, luckly I can do over 1300km on one tank.
Steem on buddy! :)

Just gorgeous. Love that cat on the window lol. Oh this is smth i wouldnt mind seeing at all....so pretty.

Its looks really nice. Full of nature beauty and very peaceful also. The best part is the natural sunlight.

Traveling to places you have not been too is education on it own and the memories will forever remain fresh.
