That’s all for now…

Aug 12

Very hot here, so we decide to head up and explore one more ancient little village  — St. Saphron.  It seems to be a little sort of artist community, see the surprise over the fence. Lovely and cool in the town, and as we climbed for a better view we discovered that the vines have now all been covered with netting to prevent the birds from eating all the grapes.

 

We then decide to head for the hills and a tower overlook on top of one the hills here.  We’d gone up there before but didn’t indulge in the great family style cafe at the top.  They are known for their fondue and cream desserts.

So we sat under the awnings enjoying the breezes from up there and had fondue and shared some local rose wine for our Linner.

Linner is our own made up word — like brunch – only lunch+dinner – usually taken in the late afternoon.  Attention all you hard working cooks out there, this is a great way to skip cooking dinner.

 

Finally remembered to take a photo of our apartment building, ours is the second level, far left where the two white awnings are down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:  This will be the last post for awhile. We leave early Friday morning for the Lyon, France area and won’t have regular access to a computer.  Stay tuned,  I will update Travel Barmy with our last week of photos and stories when we’re back in San Francisco.  Thanks everyone for reading along.
