6/14 - "Research" hmmm......Gay has rented a car for three days (compliments of Vanderbilt), so she can gather information on interesting eco initiatives in France. Ginny drove us all around Provence in a cool little car. We travelled up a winding and extremely picturesque road to the town of Jouques where her friend, Alice, lives. Alice grew up in Palo Alto, CA. She came to Provence after college, fell in love with a Frenchman, and the rest is history. Photo is of the four of us drinking our second bottle of Rose on Alice's patio. Alice is surely one of us!
Ginny's alumni reunion group arrives today. She is hosting a week for Vanderbilt grads who were in the Vanderbilt-in-France program years ago. Most of the attendees will be around our age, so it should be kind of fun. We will join a big, swanky, outdoor reception tonight at Le Pigonnet Hotel where they are all staying. Gay and I are official photographers for the event and get to drink free champagne and eat all the fab food that will be laid out. What a deal!
6/15 - We drove south today through the beautiful hills and farmlands to look at Correns, the best eco village in all of France. It also just happens to be where Brad and Angelina have bought a villa and are hold up awaiting the birth of their twins. No....we weren't invited over for wine. Their loss! On to Montfort where you will see photos of us eating lunch (again) which always seems to be a four course meal with at least two bottles of wine. So much for eco "research"!
(P.S. I have also discovered if you click on a photo that captures your fancy, you will get a larger view. Therefore, I will publish the rest in small mode.)
