I arrived in Marseille late this afternoon. The train I was on went through Avignon and Aix en Provence. There was a lot of land approaching Avignon with grapes and the water in the streams and rivers was turquoise in color, truly beautiful but I was unable to get a picture. I noticed lavender growing wild around Aix en Provence but the stocks were small, I did not see any fields like the pictures on the internet. I plan on taking a boat ride to Calanques tomorrow and a full day excursion to Avignon, Chateaneuf-du-Pape and Les Baux de Provence on Tuesday. I have also booked two excursions from Nice, one to Grasse and the Fragonard perfumery with a wine tasting to end the day and the second one for the following day as an electric bike tour. I hope I can keep from crashing on the bike. Good thing it is electric and won’t take too much energy considering the hills I will most likely encounter.
To all of my friends and family who are mothers – I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. My son sent me a picture of his fabulous blue eyes.
