The smells of Provence


Our entire time in Provence had us feeling like we were in a movie complete with soundtrack which is hard to convey in a blog. Equally difficult is the smell of lavender which was thick in the air the morning we left this beautiful place. Apparently it was the season to harvest. Our friends have a small field of lavender next to their house and these guys showed up to cut it. We decided their significant others must love the way they smell when they get home from a hard day's work!

Off to the Market we go!


We visted this little market in Coustellet. How can you be in France and not go to a market? Lavender and honey seem to be the specialty items of the region.
