Provence

In Provence, we noticed, the towns look way different. Older and more rustic. We loved the colors of windows and shutters, the sound of fountains trickling in the sun, the slower pace.

Doesn't Shannon look peaceful, sitting in the warm sun ! {or just tired?}

Many of the ruins are from the Roman era, like this gigantic aqueduct. We hiked way up to see it from another angle~it was so worth the climb. At the top, we ran into a couple, who had seen us in the restaurant on my birthday, clear back in the Loire Valley a week earlier. What a coincidence! We exchanged photographing each other.

Later, there was a free dance show/concert, with that huge aqueduct for backdrop. Stunning, actually.
