A short post today ... on Sunday we drove east to the city of Castres. It was pretty, located along a river, but absolutely dead on Sunday. There was a museum dedicated to Spanish art in general, and the painter Goya in particular, which was interesting (but hot). I think that Goya was a very disturbed man. After the museum, we had a short picnic and then traveled further east to a charming, ancient city called Burlats, also located along the river, home to ruins dating from the 9th Century.
Several pictures from the trip are below; you can see more at this link:

We awoke this morning to a thunderstorm, but it is clearing now, and we are planning to spend the day in Toulouse. We're enjoying watching all of the French athletes competing in the Olympics....
