Lacoste IV


Hey everyone, I have several weeks of a bunch of totally unrelated photos that just kept getting put aside, so here they are. I apologize for them not being in chronological order, but you'll just have to deal with it. Enjoy!
These are photos from an abandoned/destroyed town Called "Buoux", which we visited last week. The story behind this place is that it was HIGHLY fortified town that has been constantly inhabited starting from the Stone Age. This by far the biggest and most highly "fortified" ancient town I have been in France. It’s literally on top on a mountain, and you have to climb the entire thing to get to it. In fact I think they didn't need any fortifications at all, any invading army that had to climb that damn mountain with a ton of war equipment would have decided "Fuck this shit! They can keep their damn hill!". So the photos of my in the tree and on the cliff are literally feet away from over a hundred feet drop, cool huh Dad?
Also last week we got a chance to go inside the construction site of the of the Marqis De Sade's ruined castle that is being rebuilt. It was by far the best view of the valley in Lacoste, and there was graffiti in the walls dating back to the 1700's, "Jean-Pierre Wuz Here".
This is just a few random photos of me. First one is of us eating in LooFoc, (Pronounced Loo-Fuck) the nice restaurant in Lacoste, which the name means "Circus Seal". Next is our cat in residence named affectionately "Mr. Balls", he is more man then any of us combined. Last is two photos from me drawing on the terrace over the weekend and trying to get some sun, look at that sweet French sunburn on my shoulders!
Few neat night shots I took several weeks back when we had a full moon, that Bonuex in the distance.
In travel portfolio before the Paris trip we went to a town called Oppede, which is lightly inhabited, but had a really awesome ruined castle on top of the hill. Got some good climbing time in at this town.
Couple of random photos from Paris that my buddy Grant took, and I thought I should include them because they are really good.
More sunrise photos that I took a few weeks back after the first set, just haven't had a chance to upload them until now.
