Ansouis and Cucuron

Woke up to a nice breakfast with homemade jams, croissants & baguettes and the zilliondollar view with Annie (our host). We went exploring the small city of Ansouis which was perched atop a little mountain -- we can't understand how these things got built!! Afterwards we went to Cucuron, a neighboring town for a little explore of the city, but also a nice 3hour hike. This time the map was a little bit more friendly, but Steve was still unsure of where we were for about half of it. Fortunately we made it back to the city, and then came back to the B&B to rest by the pool (got sunburnt, but relaxed). After a quick snooze, we headed to Lourmarin for dinner and a walk around the castle. Stephen won the rock throwing game.

Hours of walking: 5 (Steve thinks he is now skinnier)

Poor little asparagus. Looks so sad. But still proud. Proud to be a lone asparagus in a see of bland grasses.

Stand tall little guy, Kelly and I will come for you soon.
