Mystery Photo

See if you can guess what this photo is before I reveal what it represents at the bottom of the page...

Our trip to see Laure's archaeologic dig site was really great. I had never seen such a project in action and it was pretty interesting. I took several photos of some of the skeletons from the Middle Ages unearthed at the site, but unfortunately for you I can't put them online at this moment since the work has yet to be published. Take my word for it, though: it was pretty cool.

Today (Saturday) also involved some brief activities in the region while gradually making our way back to Paris, including walking around the medieval village of Yevres le Chatel and a quick hike in the rock-filled forests near Fontainebleau. A few pics from today's activities:

Finger-like red ivy projections along an old wall in Yevres.
Claire climbing a rocky path at Fontainebleau.
Claire and Laure having their picture taken by a beet farm. That's right, I said BEETS. If you guessed that pile of non-descript objects in the first picture was beets, give yourself a gold star! I definitely saw more beets piled up by the side of the road in the past 12 hours than in all of my life combined.

The French word for "beet" is "le betterave".
