Now and Then

I started to dream of Carcassonne during my time in Dunedin when I was obsessed with the idea of living in a boat on the canals of England. Reading everything I could find about canal boat life, I borrowed a random audiobook from the local library called Narrow Dog to Carcassonne

The walled hilltop city of Carcassonne overlooking the Garronne River

It's a laugh-out-loud tale about a couple of pensioners who with their whippet Jim decide to take their narrowboat across the Channel and all the way down through France to the town of Carcassonne on the Canal du Midi.

For now just a couple of pics from the town outside the city walls

Cool!
