We had a bit of a lazy morning...again. Which is fine by me, since after two months of traveling it is nice to relax. Just after 10am we headed off to see the medieval city in Carcassonne. It is the largest walled castle in Europe. However it is not just a castle and museum, people live within the wall and own shops. 

After seeing the castle itself, we spent the rest of the day walking around the medieval city; enjoying the weather, going to amazing view points, and feeling like we had gone back in time. Dad took so many photos that I have no idea when we are going to have time to go through them all. But i don't blame him because the sights were amazing, after my two months in Europe I can honestly say i have never seen anything like this place. 

After an exhausting day of walking around we stopped at a couple of churches on the way back to our apartment. The first looked beautiful, at least we assumed so, since the lights weren't on and it was very dark. However, you could make out some of the statues and artwork, the most beautiful being the colorfully painted walls. The second church we tried to stop at was not open so we only got to walk around the outside. 

We had planned on just taking a break before heading out in search of a restaurant but, we got so comfortable that we just ate whatever we had in our apartment and stayed in for the rest of the night.
