Autumn Road Trip. . . . . . . .


Southwestern France 2008

Photo taken driving through the vineyards to the medieval bastide town of Mirepoix. 
Located in the Ariège department of the Midi-Pyrenees, near my family's home,
 this beautiful town invites you to sit outside at one of the many cafes in the evocative
 13th century market square, to enjoy a drink or a meal.
  
We are off this morning.
No quiet country roads edged with ancient plane trees.
No rolling hillsides carpeted with vines now dressed in brilliant 
Autumn colors. . . . . but hoping for an enjoyable drive, and then
a glass of fruity red wine this evening somewhere fun in our
 nation's Capital!  

Cheers!
