Where are Ron and Ellen?

These photos accompany our report from France of 25 September 2005.

Cricket game in Damazan, France. There is a league with teams composed of British and British Commonwealth residents of southern France. They told us they had been unsuccessful in finding any French interested in learning and playing the game.

Our campsite at the closed campground in Damazan, France. Tall hedges in U formations defined each separate campsite.

Apple trees covered with protective netting to keep off birds.

London plane trees along the canal.

Tree farm with rows of London plane trees (called sycamore trees in the US).

Ron on one of the foot bridges over the canal in Moissac.

Patiently waiting: fishing in the Tarn River, Moissac, just a few feet from our tent.

View from our tent in the Moissac campground.

Romanesque cloister at Abbaye St-Pierre in Moissac.

Organ and painted walls in the Abbaye St-Pierre, Moissac.

There were many beautiful polychrome wood carvings in the Abbaye St-Pierre, Moissac.

Carving over the door of the Abbaye St-Pierre in Moissac. It depicts St. John's vision of heaven as recorded in the book of Revelation.

On the bridge carrying the canal over the Tarn River in Moissac. The river is below, and a part of the railroad bridge is visible on the right. No boats were crossing while we were there -- only bicyclers.

Bridge carrying the canal over the Tarn River at Moissac.

Canal towpath in Moissac. It may not look bad in the photo, but it was very rough and rocky -- not something we wanted to ride on for many kilometers, especially with loaded bikes and pulling the cart!

We rode the paved canal towpath for 35 km from St. Rustice into Toulouse -- fine riding!
