Wanna see my etchings?

This must be the oldest pickup line in the world. I can see Cro-Magnon man saying this 13,000 years ago. And some of these cave drawings are pretty cool. Though I think Monet's reputation is safe.



We were able to get in to see a cave on Monday, just in advance of the French strike on Tuesday which has now closed the caves--at least for today. Our tour guide described the cave etchings, and even some paintings in both French and English. Most of the drawings are of animals-- Horses and wooly mammoths. There are some drawings of women, but the animal drawings are much more numerous and more detailed. I guess that says something about their priorities.
