a quick bonjour from Provence

Posted on April 6, 2004. Filed under: 2004 France and Italy, France, Provence, Saignon |

Bonjour all!

Actually, bon soir for us, so I’m off to bed soon. Just wanted to send signs of life and assure you that we are still having a fantastic time in Provence, especially now that the weather is giving the occasional nod toward spring.

Val and I have returned to Saignon after 5 days roaming south-central Provence in a tiny white globular rental car– I called it the Ford Egg. In the last few days we have encountered Roman aqueducts, fleets of flamingoes, and French lesbians, and eaten a great deal of cheese, bread, and olive tapenade. Most days we go hiking for several hours, through increasingly flower-bedecked mountain forests, ravines full of caves, and ruins ranging from prehistoric through Roman and medieval on up to the last century.

I hope to post details soon. Tomorrow we will take in the sights in Avignon, including the popes’ palace. I hope everyone is well.
