Say it ain't so

In Provence, exceptional unfortunately means rain, and for the past few days we have had our share of thunderstorms and downpours, not that it kept Robert off the road with his favorite means of transportation.

But of course there were the "usual" days. We spent last Sunday picnicing by the Ste-Victoire, then drove into Aix for coffee.

Dejeuner sur l'herbe

With just two days left to Karoline's visit, Sylvie organized a picnic at the foot of the Ste-Victoire. After lunch we drove to the other side of the mountain to visit the Barrage de Bimont with its turquoise lake and steep gorges

Testing the blog

Trying to figure out this blogger stuff, as we begin pulling the suitcases out.

Here's a glamour shot of Robert's baby.
