Ancient Portals & Medieval Doors/ the past & present
A metaphor for life, doors.
From our earliest years we
open and shut them without
a thought, yet they symbolize
our journey to the very end.
I WONDER what stories have played out both in-front and behind these doors … In 2009, we’ll look deeper into the pre-historic & medieval past around the Dordogne Valley. I'll also blog about present day: culture, cuisine, arts and recreation. In many ways, things are very slow to change around the LOT and its neighboring departments (districts). Is this a detriment or benefit for the areas future? I am uncertain. I do know this destination's tourism potential has never been tapped and may be the savior to its weak local economy.
My efforts, with respect to this blog, will be directed at opening the doors to this wonderful place, and hopefully its content will expose you to more of our area’s past & present. I would also really appreciate your input; if you have any topics relating to our area you'd like to see presented, please contact me... my e-door is always open. Just email me: jack@RanchoEscargot.com
à bientôt, Jack
Wonderful, Jack! I'll be checking the posts out frequently. There are so many great topics I wouldn't even know where to begin with: romanesque churches, randonnées, rivers and waterfalls, gardens...Things of practic life would be interesting to read as well.
PS: The doors are beautiful...I have posted some pics of doors of Grimaud, in the Var, some time ago. Gotta love them
