castle in the sky

Yes that is a castle on that mountain and it took 15 minutes not stop to climb to it view was priceless though.
Eric and I at the first castle of the day explaining how the archers had one hole but 3 men in each hole.
Short rest break while driving and the town down below.
A view from the castle in the sky we were a stones throw away from a helicopter that was video taping the castle so hopefuly we will be on tv or a documentary at some point.

john shot a 6 pack-and notre dame or sister church who helped out our college over here

We went to a festival and john decided it would be alot of fun to shoot a gun at a booth. In france they use real guns. John did very well with the rifle and won a small pellet handgun. Next he took his hand at a double barrelled shot gun and accidently shot her 6 pack of beer that was laying on the floor underneath her jacket and was oozing beer on the side. He felt bad and gave her money for the beer he just shot gunned and we laughed for about 30 minutes then again on the way home when we told tim. This is the inside of Notre Dame our sister church. It only a small church till they added on the big octagon section in this picture. We got to climb to the bell tower and play the bells Jerry yet again surpised us with the never ending list of things he can do.
That is a snakes skin from brazil and along with many of different animals brought back from brazil.
The room was filled and i want one of those for my house.
Treasures $$$$$$$$$

Conques

Eric is a really interesting teacher i wanted to buy this tipinain* not sure the spelling exactly but they are scenes on a church that tell us a story. This scene is the judgement day where God seperates the good from the evil. I bought a part of it bc the one i wanted was alot of money and kinda difficult to ship back home.

Lunch was good the french like olives on everything esp pizza so me and teddy split a pizza and salad special and it was good i just picked off the olives.


Monday morning we had to be ready early because tim went to abli to pick up eric bc we had another pligrimage that day this time to conques. I get the felling people just got tired of walking and said this is where we build a church bc they are always on a side of a hill and its very rough terrain.
