mermaid and starrsville,
One of the tidbits that I tried to mention is that I also had the best night's sleep in months at the Sheraton. The beds were so comfortable I slept like a brick! Plus that last travel day was so easy - all we had to do was get on the plane.
Anselm,
It's easy being enthusiastic. Lynn already said to me this morning, "Maybe we can go back in fall."

Dear JoeG
When you get tired of Lynn (though I doubt it if you ever will, she sounds great), please, do get in touch. You seem like just the person with whom I would really love to travel! Besides, you are a fantastic narrator, I just couldn't stop reading your messages. Because of them, I will have to save up for a trip to Provence next year!

cesisard,
Thank you for the kind remarks. I haven't gotten tired of Lynn after 32 years so I don't expect that to change. It's amazing to me that you can even stand someone after 32 years much less actually like them.
>> I will have to save up for a trip to Provence <<
If you are good at finding good deals on air fare etc., you don't have to spend a fortune to travel abroad. Our air fare to France for example was $375. Last year we paid $298 round trip to London. Our rental car was under $300 (+$60 for gas). The TGV fares can be had for 20e. Two years ago we stayed at Hotel Le Calendal in Arles in a lovely room for only 75e/night. Food can cost as much or as little as you'd like to spend. Plus as I always figured, you have to eat at home anyway.

Joe, thank you so much for your newest post. Once again you had me reading eagerly looking for all your wonderful detail. What a gift for story telling! When you described how Lynn lost it "language wise "I was laughing so hard I had tears. You two know how to do it up right!!

Mimi,
I do have some interior and exterior photos of The Forge as well as le Moulin de Greoux. There are a couple good shots of the markets plus Pont du Gard.
I have this belief that if you gave a digital camera to a baboon and it snapped 100 pictures, you'ld get a handful of keepers. On this trip I put that philosophy to the test. I think we were just too busy having fun!
I'm not sure how to post these, but if anyone is really interested , I could try emailing them. [email protected]
