Rocamadour
We went to Rocamadour yesterday, a medieval town built partly in a canyon and partly on a huge rock. The part built on the huge rock is a plaza surrounded by seven churches, and up above that is a castle, 1600 feet above the ground level. Pilgrims used to come here as penance.
On the ramparts of the castle, there is a view point (which obviously wasn’t originally a view point, but it is now) looking out over the cliff. It’s so high, you can look down and see a flock of birds. Oh, and it was 104 degrees (farenheit) out.
Looking up at the cliff from ground level. You can see the view point in the top left.
Looking straight down from the view point. You can see one of the seven churches on the left, and then the ground level in the center. There are two people down in the bottom right (the specks behind the car).
One of the doors in the plaza. The sharp rivets make it look like a torture device.
By the way, we found a human bone in a cemetery a few days ago.

Those stupid French couldn’t figure out that a couple Mavericks could take that thing out….

What? I like my air-to-ground missiles.

But then what if the French just happened to have a few SAMS?

Well, then you attack with two A-10s which will have six Mavericks each, plus a few Sidewinders to take out the SAMs.
