Had our last day in the Alsace and were speaking with our neighbor Richard about the Tour de France as it had passed through 2 days prior to our arrival. Turns out his great nephew is the local kid (there are signs all over town showing support for him) who is racing. I asked how he’s doing and he replies that he ‘Won the leg today’ . Wow! Now we’re following the race…cheering hard for Thibault Pinot (he’s still top 4).
Beautiful foggy morning as we prepared to head south.
Long drive to Provence, but made it to Pertuis (or home for the next 2 weeks) by dinner.
Explored our town of Pertuis this AM before the heat hit! Apparently we are the only ones up and out at 9h30:)
Spent the afternoon driving around Provence in search of Kendra’s lavender fields…
Our host in Provence was an elite World class wall climber in the 90’s (World Cup silver medals)…so this place is equipped with a climbing room!…an impossible climbing room…but fun none the less.
