July 21 & 22 - Roaming Provence

Don writing.  Had a great last couple of days in Provence albeit HOT!  Went kayaking on the La Sorgue river (gorgeous), Pont du Gard, wandered up to the ancient hilltop village of Les Beaux, swimming / hanging out by the pool, a great farmers market in St. Remy, sipping wines from my most favorite French region, and a top meal at Maison Drouot.
On to Paris to finally escape the heat!

Excellent C-Pape which I'd never heard of.  Made by two sisters.

Sausages for days -- too many to choose from

Excellent wines in this part with winemakers I've never heard of.
