My family lives on a mountain side, so to get to the town of Moissac my sister and I walked the scenic route down. Here are some pictures from that.
 |
 |
| This is the first thing we saw when we entered Moissac. The streets are very tiny and the trees a very bizarre. |
 |
| Here is a better picture of the trees. They are very different than the ones back home. These trees are everywhere in the south of France. |
After entering Moissac we went to the Land of Opulence which is giant open area with a huge old tree with architecture from the romanesque period.
 |
| From Left to Right: Me, My host sister Clara, and her best friend Zoe |
 |
| Steps to go above the Santiago de Compstela (a church) |
 |
| A miniature organ that is played in the church |
 |
| Steps going down (there were a lot of steps) |
 |
| Cool doorways looking out |
 |
| Cool doorways entering the church |
 |
| You can see the influence of Roman art on the architecture of this church |
 |
| The town square with the church to the left. |

| Zoe, Clara, and me at the opening of the Church |
 |
| Just me this time!! |
 |
| This picture shows how immense this church doorway was. The attention to detail was incredible. |

| Inside the church |
 |
| This is a huge and famous organ that is very complicated to play. Organ players from around the world gather every year to study this instrument. |
Once we finished with the church we went to a little chocolate shop for a treat.
We then walked down to the canal in the city to enjoy the chocolate.
 |
| Again with the cool trees. I love it!! |
 |
| In front of a famous hotel called the Moulin de Moissac |
 |
| Im holding the yummy chocolates in front of the pretty trees! |
To end our day we walked along the Canal des Deux Mers. It was a little cloudy but still very pretty!
