Laze
away the days lingering on the Canal du Midi
Today's
photos feature (July 17 2006)
There is an art to taking it easy. Slowing down. Its like enjoying
a good wine. You smell its aroma. Glide your lips across its
luscious surface. Taste its richness and let it warm the heart.
Much the same could be said for cruising on the Canal du Midi.
The slow progress under proud Plane trees, along a stately path
built hundreds of years ago. The day begins with the stirring
of wild birds, the rustle of leaves, the sparkle of water. The
sun sinkings its glowing embers in the surrounding vineyards.
This photo is near Villeneuve Les Beziers, in the Herault, on
the route from Beziers to the old port of Agde, with its fortress
church,
myriad
restaurants. Can't you imagine a picnic under the trees with
the proverbial french bread, some fine pieces of ham, fresh
tomatoes, a glass of the local wine, followed by figs picked
from a nearby tree?
