These sketches are from our trip to the Festival de Bande Dessinee (Sequential Art/Comic Books) in Angouleme. We spent 2 and 1/2 days wandering around the city, and spent a considerable amount of our time in various cafes and boulangeries. I really enjoyed the Musee de Angouleme, which had several nice exhibits, and was next door to a lovely cathedral and view of rooftops. The terracotta roofs are one of my favorite parts of France, they have such a lovely texture and pattern and color, and so much character.
