I’m pretty sure today was the longest I’ve had.  Ever.  We left So.Cal. Wednesday morning at 8:45 am, flew to Minneapolis, then Amsterdam, then Lyon, France.  By the time we rented a car and drove to Seguret (in the Provence region), we had been up over 24 hours.  We had to pull over an hour in to the drive to take a nap because neither of us could stay awake!  We were both very much on edge  but we held it together because we were in France!  What better reason to be tired than traveling here?  I also got to see the Giant of Provence, Mt. Ventoux, on our drive in.  It  has been described as the toughest climb in the Tour de France and I have no doubt it will be a suffer-fest on Tuesday when we ride it.

But we made it here, still happily married, and the bed and breakfast where we are staying for 2 nights is absolutely adorable.  And, it has a ping pong table so I have alreay challenged Jonathan to a match.  In our history of ping pong, I have dominated (he will tell you diferently, don’t listen) and I intend to keep my winning streak alive.

Thanks to the proprietor, we had an amazing meal tonight in Seguret, one of the quaintest hilltop villages I have ever seen.  Cars aren’t allowed in so we had to park below and walk in.  I’ve posted some pictures below, but they definitely don’t do this village justice.  If you are ever in Provence, you have to come to Seguret.

It is past midnight here so I am off to bed and will end by saying, “bon nuit.”
