"Please Sir, May I have some more?" No matter the length of the trip, it seems we always wonder what wonderful thing or person might be . . ."just around the next bend." When we rode the Harley up the continental divide through six states. . .we were two days ahead of schedule in Glacier Park. So, on to Waterton Lakes, and then Banff, and then finally we did a 180 and headed back by way of Sturgis after seing the Columbia Ice Fields. We always want "some more, please!"
Think I'll call it the "Oliver Syndrome."
That feeling returned last night as I read a small article in the new National Geographic Traveler, about the Dordogne area in France. It told of the 147 prehistoric along the Vezere Valley including the "troglodyte cliff shelters of LaRoque Saint-Christophe and the 17,000 year old cave paintings at Grotte de Font-de-Gaume." Checking Google map, and the atlas, the "Dordogne" is about 250 miles further south than the route down the Loire valley I'd been planning, For a Texan, a 500 mile detour is nothing special, but that's in the trip's first week. What's to come?
