What we call a perfect sunday:

EN: I love sundays. They are slow, calm and smell like hot chocolate to me. This sunday morning we got up early (concerning our time regime) and went horse riding in the nature. It was the first time we did fast running (gallop or gait) with horses and it was absolutely incredible feeling to let your self go with horse through fields and brown, yellow, orange colored trees.


In the afternoon we had previewed to do hiking in the Cantal region, but luckily (because my knees were still trembling from the horse riding) it was raining and we did our hiking with the car, made around 200km. Went up and down the mountain roads with breathtaking views of rising fog and crawling clouds above the tops of the mountains. And all these autumn colors looked so tense that you would think it is fake if you would see a painting like it. We stopped in a little town called Salers, which reminded me of medieval ages with narrow streets and high round towers. There we had the most amazing hot chocolate, dark, perfect thick texture, that you could dare to say it is even better than ... :)
The darkness and heavy rain has cought us on the way back home where Fred was waiting for us with lighten fire and deliciously cooked boeuf bourguignon, very famous and traditional french dish which takes around 2 days of preparation. We ate, drunk and talked. And it was the end of perfect sunday for us.
Cantal region.

Thomas in rising fog and after few minutes we were not able to see anything around.

We are small people on big Earth.


FR: J'adore le dimanche. Il est calm, lentil et ça sent comme chocolat chaud pour moi. Ce dimanche on s'est réveilé tôt (concerné notre regime) et on est parti faire du cheval dans la nature. C'était la premiere fois qu'on a faire du galop et c'était un sentiment magnifique et libre de courir dans les herbes coloré d'automne. Pour l'aprés-midi on avait prevu faire une promenade dans la Cantal mais heureusement (parce que mes jambes étaient trop fatigué apres le cheval) il a plu bcp et on a faire randonée avec la voiture (presque 200km). On a monté et on est descendu les routes de la montagnes avec le brouillard; des nuages et des couleures trés trés intensive, presque superficielles. Nous avons arreté dans une petite village Salers avec des petites rues et tours rondes comme au Moyen Age. On a bu le meilleur chocolat chaud, sombre, épais, trés trés bonne, presque mieux comme...:)
Entre chien et loup et avec la pluie trés fort on est rentré chez Fred qui nous a attendu avec le cheminée allumé et du boeuf bourguignon, specialité de la cuisine française qui prendre presque deux jours pour cuisiné. On a bien mangé, bu et parlé. Et c'était la fin de dimanche parfait pour nous.
