Dordogne weekend The picture, taken in the train station at Brive-la Gaillarde at the end of our three-day road trip, pretty much sums it up. A weekend spent hanging out in train stations, riding in the car, eating in restaurants with the local yokels out for their Saturday dinner or their Sunday lunch, watching the slumbering hills in their winter torpor, going for cow walks, sleeping in deserted hotels out of season. Tourist season here in radio-free central France is long over, or not yet started. It's February, everybody is off skiing. It was nice to be together for three days.  ¶ 11:49 PM
