I second all of Maryvonne's response! And, this blog has been the best and most humorous so far! Glad you are having so much fun. Ceesco says Hiiiiiiiii.
The market in Arles When Don and I and the Vargos were in Arles in 71 we parked our car in a "vacant lot" and checked in to a nifty little hotel. Next AM when we were ready to leave we were surrounded by market tables and stalls and the folks were really mad at us. They moved things aside and let us out (probably saying 'good riddance'). I always wondered why didn't just tow us away. The picture of our new green VW in the middle of the Arles market was pretty classic.
Travelling Cows I've seen some of those cows down on the waterfront in Auckland before. Going back about 4 years though, so they really are travelling the world! Glad your having fun, LOVE the new hat! Love it! Well done, make sure you get photos of the visor burning. Maryvonne xx
Les Baux Hi! Having fun, I see. Back in 1970, during the summer before i started college, i was with a drama troup and we put on a Greek drama and a Greek comedy in Les Baux, in an amphitheatre, bien sur!
Amusez-vous encore!!

Aix yai yai! Your comments reminded me of France for us last summer:
1. All the chateaux are like going to Sunday open house except here you pay.
2. The best thing I ever did was bring along a GPS that had the European maps loaded in it. I got me everywhere, effortlessly!
3. French recycling. When the housekeeper came to deal with the trash everyday, our bottle bin was always full so she got us a full-sized trash can!
Thanks for the blog - it's wonderful!

road trip Hi guys sounds like you are having a mighty fine time. Id love to be trying all that food you talk about. I'll bet you had a nap after the Armanac visit. I once went to Cognac and after a rather large brandy slept for two hours. Keeping on enjoying it and detouring it makes for fun.

Disappointed We both thought that after we left you, your holiday would have become a mundane and disappointing affair. But, damn it, you're having heaps of fun. And we don't like it!! So get miserable, and that's an order!!
wallet Where can I get one of those micro cars. All I have is me and a tiny wallet. We should easily be able to slip behind the wheel.
Does it really work? Does it have a turbo?
Glad you two are having such a terrific trip! I spent a few days with CRH and JN @ their new Seattle digs. Lotsa fun, thought about you a lot. Enjoy! Love, Mark
Stop Buying things Hi guys, glad your having such a fab time but you really do need to stop buying things! Sorry to be a joy germ but it has to be said. You wont be home for ages and your only allowed 20kgs each! Am totally jealous that your getting all sorts of "food with flavour" Im starving. Love you lots, maryvonne. oh, and Harr has promised that passport is sorted xx
Bonjour from Tori Riders on the storm...riders on the storm...AWOOOOOO says Ceesco! Loving your travel blog. Sounds awesome, thinking of you both. Sante!
Hi Brad and Viv Have a great time in the USA. Glad to see that th Grizzlies haven't come calling. We're with the Acker's in Brittany right now and having fun in Brittany.
Sounds wonderful! Seems like an absolutely fabulous trip. We've been to Paris several times but this makes me want to go back and revisit the places you mention ASAP...
Visiting the family in England Good to see the pictures of home. Aunt Mavis looks wonderful. Sounds like you are having a wonderful trip. I really enjoy reading the blog every week
tourists Seems to me the PIT and IT aren't to dissimilar. You would have been good at hauling coal trucks around 1 mile down. I want an Aloysius (sp) teddy bear.
FUN It looks like and also sounds like you are having a wonderful time and I am sure it is nice for Kevin to see his family also. We leave on 7/30 for the Bahamas - Binimi Island for 6 days with Arnie's son and his family and his wife's parents should be a fun trip then to Alaska on 8/19 to see my son. Keep enjoying look forward to next blog
