Auch Again

After a few pleasant days with Jane and Gordon we departed, first for Fleurance and then to Auch. Vicki wanted to see the great windows of the cathedral in Auch again, and its nearby, free aire de camping cars afforded us at least a short term base for further provisioning, washing, cleaning, repairs, replacements, reorganization, etc. It's a 15 minute walk to the cathedral. Well, 20, including the Escalier Monumentale. I've learned to use the medieval alleys instead.
Jane and Gordon's, from the barn/garage/workshop where
our camper spent the fall and winter















Auch cathedral, again; restoration
continues, now onto the west side; not much
seems to have changed on the Escalier
Monumentale, still passable, but with a huge
crain behind D'Artagnan (see August 2012
posts from Auch)






















I vowed not to take any pix, but couldn't
help myself; just one here, the Delphic
Oracle window; still cracks me up that the
counter-reformation church would grasp
even the sybils to prop up The Faith






















New store in town, the Tesla of tobacco?














Old store in town; not sure what the thumb-up is about...














Not quite spring here yet, but they're working on it, and
there have been a few nice days so far
