Spratman, you were right. $$$$$$$
Other than that *issue* it is woinderful though. I have not seen a spring in years and years.
At the same time, it's less than cheap for us to travel around the world.
Were the people welcoming around Aix ?
Did you appreciate the wine ?
Can you sing "la Marseillaise" properly now ?
Did you have an adventure with Nico ?
Of course you've seen many springs ! It is just the moment between the21 of March and the 21 of June...usualy it's cold and rainy..I mean here, in Normandy...

The people were the best. Seriously, I loved them. very helpful, witty and funny. You know what I appreciated the most? They ask questions...unlike Americans who act like they already know everything.
The house was a 200 dollar cab ride, gulp. It was a big farmhouse with a pool and tennis courts but quite overgrown. Laundry that had been on the clothesline for a while. We were locked out, the shutters all locked tight. JB happened to find the keys in the BB cue...whew.
Owners sailing in Fiji.
Wood heat, a list of chores that we sort of ignored.
Beautiful farm! Cherries and vinyards. The lighting was breathtaking. Lourmarin is where we were.....took the high speed TGV into Aix Provence was our stop....
We cycled through the farmland, villages...just about as beautiful as it gets. People I would give an A plus. They really have it together in many many ways (although they don't seem to like my buddy Sarkozy)
Gas is about ten dollars a gallon, unless I calculated that wrong. Let's see...1.5 EU for a liter. 3.8 L in a gallon. 1 EU is .55 USD....can that be right? We kind of closed our eyes when we paid our bills, to be honest.
We did the Paris underground with a crazy Danish journalist. I was sick for a couple days after that.
We had a Peugot we drove to Marsielles. Over ten thousand boat slips...holy cow.
Basically, we did the drink and ride program on the bikes. Twenty miles...another beer. makes round-abouts more fun. Motorists very respectful of cyclists, thank you, universe.
No overwieght people, because the grocery stores are hardly ever open. We fasted almost 48 hrs because we were not clued in. I did gain about 8 pounds, for some reason. (oh...beer) The beef is the best I have ever tasted. (Grass fed, I guess)
We saw the Paris rescue divers doing drills, that was fun.
All we did was eat.
