'Up & at 'em' bright and early this morning! After our usual awesome breakfast, we were loaded into the car and off to Vaison-la Romaine for the Tuesday market...we thought. As it turned out 'Mabeline' (our gps) decided to take us on a long voyage through Gorges de la Nesque. It was quite beautiful, curvy and full of thrills as we met other drivers taking up way too much of the road. We did finally get to the market that was full of people and with lots of things to buy. Managed to find a few things.
And, Steve was able to have the paella he has been dreaming about for 2 years. I must say, it was pretty yummy.
We had arranged to meet Kevin for a hike into the Dentelles de Montmirail. The trail started up by going practically straight up the mountains with a very strong Minstrel wind howling. To say the least...it was 'challenging'! But the views were AMAZING!
We ended up quite a ways from our car and finally landed back at the parking lot with a total a little over 7 miles. We were surprised since it felt like we had done at least 15 miles. We're so grateful that Kevin has been able to take us to these amazing trails.
High points today: Jim and Judy meeting 'Bill' when we stopped to take pictures while driving through the Gorge. Bill was from Sacramento, has lived in the middle of no where in the Gorge for 13 years, and in France for 30, and didn't want Judy taking his picture. Hmmm
Watching rock climbers right above us and hearing them talking to each other. Judy talked to a young rock climber who had climbed in Joshua Tree where they volunteer.
So after a good dinner we're off to bed to recharge for tomorrow's adventure.
Talk to you tomorrow...Charlotte
