A fantastic day! True dream riding in France. One lane country roads, no cars, scenery, sunshine. Riding near the Dorgne river.
France is timeless but shows its history. Riding in the timeless French country I recalled an opening scene from a Star Trek movie. In a far future captain of the star ship Enterprise, Jean Luc Picard was tending his grapes at his home in France. It could have been a scene from the 16th century. His equally old home in the background. Then he gets a call on his communicator and he is off on a new Star Trek mission.
This could have been the background for that scene set centuries in the future.
Further down this same road….an old Roman road…
I saw this juxtaposition of timeless past over present
This was really old. In a small village of 6 or 8 homes.
It’s story:
The Dordogne river that we are following.
Lunch with Pam and Dick
Poppies profuse in the fields.
I think the owners of this manicured garden built the gazebo high enough to enjoy the view of their labors.
About the food……desert..teramisu..home made Ice cream
Biking from Bordeaux .. June 2016 
Our friend George Innis had the good idea to share a link to your blog.
Thank you for posting this. It is so refreshing when we hear the horrifying news of the massacre in Orlando.
Your deep look and enthusiasm at little things like a manicured garden give us confidence that love will prevail over hate.
Keep riding and writing along the way!

Robert: Thanks for the comment. The better and bigger part of this world is all the beautiful places, people and their creations over the centuries that I am enjoying now. The people who passed through here over their time experienced the same strife we have today but goodness prevailed. I hope it will continue to triumph today.
