France 2011, Sep 17, 18, Transition to Provence

At the end of Pyrenees tour we had a great outdoor dinner. The resturant was excellent, the talk jovial, and the wine and beer relaxing. It was a great tour.

We drove about 370 miles back across France. We based in Carpentras, a town in Provence. The town was good, but the parking really tight. I was 70 years young on this day. Riding my bicycle in Provence.
I won the lottery.

A s I said above, the town was old and the streets small. Our Hotel had almost no front, but a very nice garden in the back. As you can see, parking is almost nonexistant. The hotel had a parking garage which was off a very busy street and not easy to get in or out of.

My birthday dinner with Jim and Susan. A good time was had by all. We were in walking distance of severl great resturants. The french know how to do it.
