Son of Caca

We are now in Carcassonne. Translated in English to ¨Son of Ca ca¨. Surprisingly for the son of ca ca town there isn`t much of it around. We aren`t doing the dance of the French to avoid it quite so much. While I`m on the subject these keyboards are impossible if I type aithout looking this is whqt i get888. It will never do. Driving me mentql having to watch every key . I`m sure they did it just to plqy with English ,inds!!! Aaaarrgh

Carcassonne is a medieval town in Catalane territory still, south of France. We`ve found a great hostel called Sidsmums. It is very relaxing here and a reasonable rate, the french keyboard is infuriating but apart from that everything is great. Nice people looking after the place, they have volunteers help out and there are a Canadian and Irish couple currently volunteering here. henry went for a walk with them tonight in the dark with George the dog, who is the splitting image of the dog from Fraggle rock if you`ve ever seen that! Henry and Bella just want to be here the whole ti,e and play with him and the cat, forget the Medieval castle with Disneyland like spires etc...Funny we thought they`d like that.

New exciting news also at hand. We are now officially going to Morocco if I haven`t mentioned that. All my fish wife nagging has finally paid off. Wendy is quite nervous, as am I if I ever admit it. We are flying there on Henry`s birthday. I thought how cool to maybe ride a camel for his 6th birthday but he said Ï want to choose what I want to do!¨ fair enough I guess. I thought it would be cool but I`m not 6. Almost 1 am here was this late last night too so must off to bed. Have been sampling local red wines tonight with the other Hostel dwellers and playing quick scrabble. Much fun and laughter. Tomorrow we go see the castle if we can drag the kids away from George.
