Sheep in Provence

Now I know I already blogged about the Tiger Transport, but today's ride was almost as interesting. After walking the much scaled-down market in Eygalieres and enjoying the shops and people, we were in the 2CV and drove a little past our house toward Biscuits Mistral in St. Andiol. As we approached the roundabout outside Molleges Gare, we see about 200 sheep walking down the road accompanied by two shepherds, one in front, one in back wearing what are likely required reflective vests. The one in front was joined by a dog which he probably needed to round up an errant sheep. Now this is something one doesn't see every day, even in France, or even in farm areas of New Jersey. Having my son with us to experience it was especially fun, particularly after we had already seen the tigers, and now the sheep!! Our future veterinarian was fascinated. And yes, it leads to the question, why did the sheep cross the road? This trip has been meaningful on so many different levels. We have made the most of every day to experience France in the off-season and the holidays and it could not have been better.
