Day of French lingerie shopping, site seeing, food and beverages

Our day began with a pleasant 25 minute drive to Castres, where we viewed the sites and purchased some souvenirs at Etam, a wonderful lingerie shop, We discovered this delicious almond and apple tart waiting for us when we arrived home. The tart was baked by Nese, the amazing chef and yogini at LaCascade. On our errands to the bank and post office we discovered a small market and felt obliged to sample the local beverages. I will give a full report on these beverages in tomorrow's post.
