Lourmarin Market & Gordes

Today was market day in Lourmarin, so we walked there and bought some nice things. It was really hot again, so we deservedly had a swim before heading off to explore some more villages. We had to pass through Bonnieux (another small city on another mountain) and Christina videotaped the crazy drive up (the drive down was more impressive, when we were on the outside of the mountain road!). Gordes is supposed to be one of the prettiest villages in France, but you don't get to see it until the last minute (it pops out at you on your drive up -- it's pretty unreal). We came home and had dinner by the pool with Annie and fellow lodgers Christine and Cyril, which consisted of aperitifs (?ponche?), wine, cheese and olives.

Hours of walking: 3
