A walk in the countryside

This morning we go to have a walk in the countryside just next the house. The weather was really cooler because the weather forecast announced a storm :-( We could see the old walls did by ancient people. They did them because in these mountains it was too difficult to make growing some vegetables. They built these walls everywhere but now the population has gone in the city and the countryside is full of tourist people. It is sad to see all this huge job destroyed by the wild animals, the wild boar. It search food so it destroys all the walls to find food in the grass.
The wild boar likes very much chesnut. Now there are too young, you have to wait october to take them and make marmelade, hummm!! so good!
My friends really enjoyed this place and took a lot of pictures. They told me that in Taiwan the landscape is totally different, no place looks like that in Taiwan. But in China you can see little walls in the mountains. They did the same to cultivate some vegetables until now. So landscape looks a bit similar!
France is a catholic country even if people don't believe in god, you can see in the trails some cross. This kind of monument is old and in the countryside you can see a lot of cross just next to the road.
The weather is so dry that the grass is yellow and it is forbidden to put water in the private swimming pool in order to keep enough water to drinking use. Every summer it is the same problem; not enough water, and sometimes they cut the water, and we can't use water at all.
