Bread

I love bread and I love France. One of our goals this trip was to buy a different kind of bread each day.  We've succeeded so far.  I told this to our local baker and she said we should have no problem as her shop has many.  Tomorrow: brioche.  Nothing like brioche with Nutella.  Actually, Nutella has been a bit of a theme itself.  We've had Nutella beignets, Nutella crepes, Nutella ice cream, Nutella on bananas, Nutella on little butter cakes and the old standard Nutella on bread.  Gotta love it.

I am loving every minute of this trip.  People have lived in this house (pre-renovations) for hundreds of years.  This is a medieval village!  Wow.  Isn't that amazing? I am blown away by this.  We miss out on this connection living in the US.

I also love no car.  It's fun trying to figure out how to get around.  The kids are not always with me on this but I think they're learning something from this experience (experiment?).  Really, if backpackers can get all over the world without cars, I can manage around our small bit of France.

We're going to Pezenas on Saturday. The market there is supposed to be overwhelming as well as some lovely old buildings (bus: 1E for me .5E for the kids).  We also have a bus trip planned for next week to Roquebrun, voted one of the "most beautiful towns in France".  As I told Rich, the trip also includes free wine tasting; I'm hoping I get to take the kids' sample (hey! I'm not driving).

Tomorrow, I think it's time for some museums.  A couple of us have had enough sun for a bit.  I also need to do some cleaning.  Waaah.  It's not all vacation.
