A Day in Sarlat

Today was a day off the bikes with lunch in Sarlat followed by Kim's hair appointment. We wandered around the ancient city for a while before deciding to revisit a restaurant we tried last year. There are far too many choices in this tourist mecca but the outdoor seating in the shade and a few dishes that caught our eye. 


Kim opted for the calves liver with panned fried potatoes and a side of salad. Liver is not a common option in most restaurants which was a diversion from the ever common burger. 


For me it was the linguini with mushrooms and cream sauce. For lunch a lighter meal is best. Kim had the wine (a French custom she has become fond of). 


With time to spare before her appointment we found a patisserie for a coffee and scoop of walnut caramel ice cream. Aside from canard, walnuts are the second most popular ingredient. 


We found the hair salon ...


where Kim got her cut and color at about half of the local Colorado or California prices. Long way to come for coiffing but when in France ...


The results were obviously worth twice the price 


and you have to admit she looks marvelous.
