Carcassonne
has become more touristy since I last saw it in mid winter. I found a nice quiet spot in the battlements
to hang out and write. Of coarse people
see me there and must come over to see if I have a good view.

That guy Charlemagne came down to take Carcassonne.
After a five year siege the local king had died and plague had ravaged
the city. Parts of the wall were manned
by bodies placed armor. Then the queen
start to feed a pig. This was not very
popular. After six months the queen had
this fat pig gorge on grain. Then she
had it pushed off the battlements.
Charlemagne leave shortly after this thinking the siege is not
working. The queen is now honored for
saving the city.
Start to leave Carcassonne
and see that the time is five. I head
for the camp in town.
