Well, we are right in the middle of our visit from my parents and I had to post some pics of our 2 night trip into the Alps for some high altitude hiking and relaxing. We stayed at this beautiful, old French farmhouse converted into a quaint mountain Bed & Breakfast. The views out of the windows of this place were great; craggy, snowy peaks in the background, with smaller, lush green mountains in front. We did a lot of really hard hiking, which was rewarded by breathtaking 360 degree views from the tops of the mmountains. One hike we had wanted to do was impassable due to the snow still there and unmelted.
Yann is off to work for a few days so we crazy Americans are loose on the town. We are having a great time just exploring some cool things right around the area. Today we are going into Aix en Provence to shop at the markets and get inspired to cook something fantastic for dinner tonight. Also, we are going to visit the painter, Cezanne's studio; it is his perfectly preserved studio he worked in the last 4 years of his life.
More pictures and stories to come soon...
