We're home and contemplating






the trip. It went by so fast, I am still digesting and thinking about what we saw, what we experienced. But over the next several days and weeks, I will add photos and info.

As an overall statement, the trip was wonderful, as always. Provence to us is like Paradise, but it is only temporary and we get only glimpses of what it is like to live there. We don't experience the hardships, particularly of the winter weather and the spring rains. We are not working on a farm or another business to survive. We are merely transient visitors, enjoying the bliss and wonder as we sit in the garden, under the plane tree and watch the sky change its tone of blue, the breeze blowing through the trees, and listen to the throbbing of the cicadas in the heat of the day.

And we have the opportunity to bring home pieces of Provence to remember the trip by, a beautiful tablecloth, or lavender potpouri, and of course our photos and memories.
