My Provence Part 1

Once again we return to France... the country we have come to love so much. We fly from Dallas to Paris and spend the night and then train to Avignon to pick up our rental car. We have booked all of our lodging ahead on the internet and never stay more than two nights in one place. On this trip we will explore Provence and will end our trip in Paris for two days where we will meet with fellow Pbaser Jean-Pierre Bijouard (Parallaxes). You will not find this to be a gallery of famous buildings, museums, etc., but rather the essence of what draws us to return to France again and again... the charm of winding cobbled streets, the smell of food cooking in the markets, a wide variety of vegetables and cheeses, freshly baked bread, the fragrance of fresh herbs and flowers in bloom, and the "joie de vivre" of the French people as they go about their daily lives. We thank those of you who have welcomed us into your lives and shared your homes with us, and also those travelers we have met along the way who have helped to make our wanderings so memorable. And to Jean-Pierre... it was delightful meeting you and sharing dinner together. It is a small world indeed! So come along as I share with you... "My Provence".
