LAST DAY IN VALLEBREGUE

This is our last day here and we are packing to leave.  It is very easy to spread out but a whole lot harder to put it all back in place

I woke up early to a bad dream and could not go back to sleep so I finished my packing and came down to pack up the kitchen.  While doing that I put out breakfast.  Breakfast consist of left overs.  Fresh tomatoes, cheese, bread and a hearty soup I made earlier in the week.

We woke up yesterday to a storm with thunder and lightning.  Seemed unusual but it was very fierce.  It seemed a sign that we should just take it easy, so we did.

Marsha slept in and then they headed out to Pont de Guard.  They had lunch went to a winery and headed back.

 My mission was to find Wi-Fi so I could update the blog.  On the way we stopped at the Castle of Tarascon and figured out that St. Martha had tamed the monster of the river that was eating the villagers and then it was peaceful.  A statue of the likeness of the monster sits outside the castle to remind everyone of the event.    We then went to Nimes and Arles and finally figured out that there was a McDonalds and they should have Wi-Fi and they did.  I was happy.  Bill wanted to find an open petrol station, and we accomplished that also.

As we were headed back, the are stormy clouds ahead, but we didn’t actually get wet.  We made it back for happy hour and opened the wine to start again.  We ended up going back into Beaucaire for dinner.  Our dinner was “plancha” but Marcia did not like that it included the head and eyes of the fish.  Of course that was all it took to for us all to start making fish faces.

Back to the house to finish out with a nightcap.

This morning we are on our way to Lyon and Beaune.
