Continuing to get caught up here with a few things I wanted to post, so watch over the next few days for some updated photos and information.
The weather here has been odd, just as it is overly hot at home, here it is overly cool and much more rain than usual. It will rain again tonight. The cicadas are vibrating but not as loudly, the hum in the air is just not the same and we miss it.
As always, our third straight year, we attended the Fete de Paella in Eygalieres, the price remained the same for yet another year and this is still the best deal around. 18 euro includes wine, water, melon (with or without port) cheese, a big plate of paella, ice cream and a fun orchestra/band with classic French dancing girls that all the men are watching.
Despite it being a very windy evening, the square was full and people talking and eating, enjoying a special night that we have never found duplicated in any of the villages we visit.
Although we left at 11 p.m. the party was still going and friends told us that around 1 a.m. in the wind, part of the stage collapsed. Everyone helped the performers and rebuilt the stage quickly. No one was injured and the party continued well into the morning.
A bon fete.
