Barcelona to Carcassonne

Last day in Barcelona
Today we went to the science museum. They had all sorts of cool stuff and I am not even going to try to explain how they worked. The section on illusions was good and the section about Issaac Newtons laws was nice because I understood how it worked.

Goodbye Barcelona
On our way back up through France we were passing through Languedoc anyways so we figured we might as well stop and get back some of our photos (they are on the computer). We stopped at Queribus and Peyrepertuse and had a quick visit (read about Queribus and Peyrepertuse on my parents or my sisters blog. I had a blog about them all typed out but it is on the computer that the baddies got).

We stayed the night in Carcassonne and found out that they were having a big festival this weekend so we booked an extra two nights. Last night there was a big torch walk. We and about 1000 other people held big torches and walked through the city. Lots of people were dressed in Medival costumes and we got the best spot, right behind the percussion band playing samba music. It was tons of fun. Today we will see if we can go skating on the rink they have in the center of town. Of all the things I thought I might do in southern France, skating was not one of them. There was also a fire show last night. There was one guy who just walked around with a flaming torch and every once in a while he would fill his mouth with gas and spray it on the flame creating a big fire ball. I couldn t believe he was doing this, especially at 1.50€ a litre.
