LAST SATURDAY, JEANIE AND I, WITH PACO AND JEANNETTE, JOURNEYED TO CARCASSONNE, FRANCE. IT WAS ABOUT A 3 HOUR DRIVE FROM THEIR HOME. THE MEDIEVAL CITY (LA CITE´) WAS BUILT ON THE RUINS OF A ROMAN FORTRESS. IT WAS BEGUN IN THE 11TH CENTURY. THE ROMAN FORTRESS, UPON WHOSE RUINS IT STANDS, DATES BACK TO HUNDREDS OF YEARS BC. THERE ARE MANY SHOPS AND RESTARANTS WITHIN ITS WALLS. ABOUT 120 PEOPLE RESIDE INSIDE THE WALLS BESIDES THE SHOP KEEPERS.
