Avignon and Experience in Luberon

We arrived in Avignon yesterday at about11:00, after an uneventful bus/train trip from Vaison la Romaine. Our host here in Avignon is a lovely woman who is certainly a kindred spirit. When the conversation some how turned to politics, she was quick to acknowledge that the only person worth a damn running for President was Bernie Sanders. She greeted us with wine and good conversation, and it was such a pleasure to spend time with her.

After our check in we toured Avignon, seeing the Popes Palace and the famous bridge that now only goes halfway across the Rhone river. Avignon is a walled city with castles and ramparts, and it was really neat to see.

After our touring, our host made us and a family of three from Arizona an excellent meal where the wine flowed like water. What a great experience.

Today, we toured the Luberon, seeing lavender fields and neat little towns. Our tour turned out to be private and our tour guide was originally from Sicicly. What a great day.
