Mimi..."pastis", eh!? Hope the little pup doesn't walk around in a daze all the time. That's what happened to me the first time I sipped one (years ago, in Aix). Not being a drinker, it came close to flooring me.
I just asked for your e-mail on The Fanatic Traveler thread about the Loyola professor and his prodigious feats of travel. Ho hum!
When did your friend teach at EU? Whatdid she teach?

YAAAAAAY!
Pastis! (mmmm... I guess a pastis mixed with a wee dribble of cold water is silver!)

Just back from my visit to Portland, OR and so glad your trip report was near enough the top to find. It was lovely, and as everyone said, I could see and smell Provence when I read it. I was very glad your rental car was reliable this year!
I'm so glad you now have 'Pastis'. We fear our Scotty may have Cushing's disease--guess terriers are prone to it. I've always said the only cure for losing a dog is to get another dog.

Topping - in case someone else was out of town and didn't get to read.

thanks hopingtotravel and welcome back. Did you meet Scarlett while there?
Or any fodorites?

hopingtotravel Sep 29th, 2005 07:06 AM

I didn't meet Scarlett, though am still jealous she got to move there. My DH was originally from Portland and I love it.

Congratulations on your new baby Pastis! I loved your report and photos (I knew there'd be tons of animals). Most of our photos from our recent trip are of black kitties with a couple of doggies for good measure.

Thanks for the tip on the Maeght. We didn't visit it on this trip since we tried to focus mostly on new places and museums (Gourdon, St. Jeanett and the Chagall Museum were our favourites).

We're heading back next July and I'm sure we'll return to the Maeght. The artwork is tremendous but I especially love the garden with the little chapel dedicated to their son. It's so peaceful.

Thank you for the wonderful descriptive report, I felt like I was there with you, meeting your friends and dog friends.

Love the photos too.

SeaUrchin Sep 30th, 2005 01:02 PM

PS: Your photograph galleries always make me smile with all the feathered and furred friends!

I added a few more photos. They were lost and sent to the wrong shop.

Lovely photos, I wish we could live in a village where all the roof tops are the same and the view is the same as the back of your hotel :)
Next year, will you go to the same places or all new places? Or will you make J go to Paris too :)

cigalechanta Oct 6th, 2005 07:27 PM

Hi Scarlett, we go to visit friends and then on the way new places we go to are the exciting finds. J. is an early to bed so he prfers France Profound over Paris, now me!!!!!! LOL
I thought of your pup when I viewed Nikki's photos.

Scarlett Oct 6th, 2005 07:37 PM

It sounds like the perfect way to travel, on the way to a place, you find something else..all that discovering new places and sights..
Yes, I immediately thought of pup when I saw that photo of Nikkis :)

So glad this resurfaced. I was on a trip and missed the original posting. We are in need of ideas for a winter trip to the Provence area and this certainly fills the bill. Thanks.

ira Oct 7th, 2005 03:11 AM

Nice pix, Mimi.

Thanks for sharing.

Mimi - thought I'd already posted a huge "merci" for your report, alas, I did not!

MERCI!! Loved the story and the photos, too.

I've been busy working and am so glad I checked here this morning. Loved the photos. (I have two cats as well as my Scottie). We were so close to some of the towns around St. Remy I wish we'd had time to go to them. P.S. Am reading a book called "Renoir's Garden" -- intersperses his art with pictures of his old home and garden near Cagnes Sur Mer (if I spelled that right).

cigalechanta Oct 7th, 2005 04:02 PM

Hi hopingtotravel, we visited his house and garden but there were not many paintings.
mvor, we met Boris Yeltsin there one year for the opening of a Russian exhibit.
