The Hurleys' came and visited us in Europe for the Christmas/New year season of 2018-2019. We stayed in a country town in the south of France near Toulouse called Souillac. The trip involved a lot of great food, day trips to the surrounding Dordogne and Occitanie regions and walks around the local area. At night, we enjoyed movies, played a lot of cards and sat around the fire chatting.
