Memory Lanes

Pictures of everyday life, travels or locations. Now living in one of the most beautiful regions of France, part of it is the Gard department, I will post shots of this place where time seems to have stopped. For each photo, a caption in English will be posted too. Just double-click on an image to get a bigger shot. Many thanks to my friend Scott for giving me such an intense yet fleeting insight into precious moments of life captured on a still image.

Seventy years in debt.

This is roughly the deal that the owner of this house situated in Saint-Marcel-de-Careiret proposed me two weeks ago: "go and check with your bank, they lend money these days".
And considering I'm 38 this year, that would have put me in debt for decades, even after my death. At any rate 700 000 Euros was, in my opinion, 250 000 overpriced. Even at 450 000, I couldn't have afforded it. There are situations when you don't even discuss the price, you just leave.
