Uzès, France |
We've got the Goodes!
May 2001
|
Barbara and Roger land in Avignon after an overnight
flight and a four-hour train ride...
first stop, le outdoor cafe at the Place de l'Horloge!
|
Second stop, in honor of the Preakness, the
Merry-Go-Round. This horse didn't run a lick.
|
|
Sunday lunch in the country, at Les Remparts in Venasque...
|
...where the food was fine, as was the wine!
Nearly three hours later...
|
|
Joe and Barbara are still confused about where we
are...it's Venasque, a perched village in the Luberon with Saracen Towers
and an 11th century baptistry.
|
Beautiful Barbara with the Emerald City in the
background!
Actually, it's Uzès, seen from the valley of the Alzon where
we walked for
hours!
|
|
It could be Oz, and this could be a unicorn!
|
Barbara decides to inspect more closely, and it appears
they're speaking the same language!
(not French)
|
|
Another day, another trek...to the Alpilles. But first, a
traditional lunch in Arles...bouillabaisse and aioli!
|
Barbara and Roger want to stop at every horse...
even this sculpted one at Chateau d'Estoublon. |
|
Inside please for an olive oil tasting...
|
But don't eat the spoon, Roger...
|
|
Too many goodies to taste, not just oils, but olives and
tapenades. |
Encore, Beautiful Barbara, in a field of poppies
and daisies amidst the olive trees!
|
|
Quick stop in St-Rémy-de-Provence to pet a dog (and see Van Gogh's
haunts).
|
And then back to Uzès,
with a storm abrewin' over the vineyards!
|
|
We hate to see them go, but they're off to the City of
Lights.
We'll see them soon in New Hampshire...à bientôt! |
