France!

France was amazing. Our days were filled with exploring, discovering, fellowship, and amazing food! Each night at the hotel we had a six course dinner that took two hours to eat! We visited castles, meet cowboys (guardians), got to ride a horse, watched a round-up, shopped, visited a lavender museum, went to an olive grove, sampled wine, lounged in the sun, got blown over by the Mistral, explored the Allpies (foothills of the Alps), discovered a cave, walked along a Roman aqueduct, experienced driving in France (eek!), saw Roman ruins, explored a cemetery, shopped at open air markets, found centuries old treasures, had three picnics, dug in the Word, met new friends, survived a train strike, took a boat ride in the Seine River and saw Paris by night, watched the Eiffel Tower sparkle like diamonds, learned how to properly kiss hello/goodbye in Provence, saw ice chunks in the ocean, and made it through a grueling plane ride home! It was AMAZING. Did I mention the bread? Oh the bread! And the Cheese!! When I have more time I will post pictures, but for tonight I'm going to just post one of us on our last day in Provence at our hotel.
