Day 17
In the garden at the Hotel Les Glycines.
Finished packing up pretty quickly and after eggs were ready when Christian and Valérie arrived at 10. Exchanged pleasantries and money and hit the road.
We were too early to check into Les Glycines, so one last trip to LeClerc for souvenirs. Jill couldn’t find anything – she’d already bought it all – so we just got water and gas. Then stopped in McDonald’s where Kristen had a Happy Meal and played in the “Aire De Jeux”.
After hemming and hawing, we decided to try the cafeteria at the mall – quick and easy.
It was ok – no sandwiches as Jill had hoped – but we had salmon, ham, pie, cheese, coffee, coke, etc. 13€. Could have had a bottle of wine too – opened by the cashier – but didn’t.
Then south to Les Eyzies. No one on duty at 1 p.m. but at 2 we checked into our ok room with nice, new bathroom, and view of their very nice park.

Went downtown to look around – all souvenir shops – and saw a wedding taking place at the Mairie, with the Mayor out front wearing a ribbon sash. Somewhat less formal than in the US, but watching the parade of old cars, horns honking, and later hearing the church bells peal was fun.
Spent most of the day by the pool. Dave enjoyed the topless French hotbody showing her daughter how to do cartwheels. Jill groaned. Kristen wants to go topless.
The girls are bathing, and its nice having some quiet time by the pool with just the splash of the fountain and the sun sinking. Dinner at 7:30. Swallows dive bombing into the pool.
Had an ok dinner at Les Glycines. The staff just doesn’t seem friendly. Jill – pork filet, salad potato puree (very good), sorbet. Dave - fish, carpaccio of tuna, spoiled by Kristen who was being a little pissant and didn’t eat her fish.
