Monday 19th June- Its very hot here, I had to take my vest off!

The weather is great today and so we went for a walk to Calvinac, a small village about 2 kilometres away. Quite a few of the houses have been greatly improved during the last three years since we last visited here. A lovely village with great views over the Lot River and valley so please see the photos, there could have been more but the battery went flat on the camera without warning, damn it.
We have some shopping to do today and so will head for town and try to check the email and update the blog on line, lets see what happens.
Well we found the Internet shop in Cahors and as we use our own computer we were directed to a back room to use the line connection. For some reason the AOL software will not operate correctly and so spent quite some time fiddling and then gave up. However with other software was able to update the blog and also put some comments to the photos. There, was of course, no air-conditioning and it was extremely hot working in this room.
We got back to the site late and it seemed very quiet, then a neighbour came and said it was the camp site owners 64 Birthday and he was buying, so off we went.
We also watched the Spain and Tunisia match, again the underdogs nearly won but Spain fought back.
We went to bed as it started to rain and oh boy, how it did rain and thunder and a great lightning show, it went on from about midnight until about 2.30 in the morning and the rain was very powerful indeed. The tent was great and did not leak at all but it was very noisy inside from all the rain.
