It was wonderful to spend time with my mom here the last few days. I’ve never had the chance to share some Provence favorites with her before and it was great to be able to do so.
Of course, that
meant a lot of nice meals – on our terrace, in local towns, along the banks of
the Rhone river, looking across at the papal city of Avignon. It also meant lots of talking about food and going
shopping at a Provencal market.
We got to see
local sights like the sound and light show at Les Baux, some Roman
ruins, and definitely a visit to a favorite winery. No bulls, though.
We did,
however, have lots of animal visitors. Our proprietor lives in an apartment attached
to our house and has a cat we never see.
But the cat decided to make a visit while mom was here.
Then some people visited the proprietor and
brought their gigantic Newfoundland dog.
Then the next day our neighbor came by and brought her donkey (doesn’t
everyone?) With each progressively
bigger animal, we thought maybe we’d have an elephant by the end of the week.
None of this
happened before Mom got here. Maybe she’s
related to Dr. Doolittle?
