Waiting for the sun to set in Carcasonne.
Carcasonne, you may be familiar with it from the nigh-popular board game, is just epic. One of the few places that’s just jammed with tourists, and is still 100% worth it. (Mont Saint Michel is the only other one I can think of off hand). Still, as usual, walk outside the walls, where it’s nicer, and there’s hardly anyone. So after running around excitedly taking pictures for a couple of hours ( I fear I’ve failed, I can’t quite capture the scale of the place), I’m sitting on some ramparts, kicking my feet up over a 40 foot drop, waiting for the sun to set. It will eventually, bastard always does. I guess what I’m trying to say is, if you have a life list (and you should), put this on it.
