It is a cold day in Chateauneuf. The mistral is cold and strong. We woke up and had a perfect cafe au lait at a cafe/boulangerie around the corner. Our breakfast at Bridgette's was scheduled for 9 am. Her home and the breakfast were nothing short of beautiful. At the suggestion of …

On the wine trail.
Destination: Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. We first had to hit a typical French market in a village just outside of Avignon. Heaven to this antique loving, flea market loving girl. I could've spent a fortune if I just knew how to bring it all home! Next it was on the road to the holy grail. Chateauneuf-Du-pape. On the …
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Lots to tell you today. We woke up on the houseboat. Wow. Sunny. Beautiful. There is not a real shower in the houseboat, but a lovely bathtub. How could I not??? We went into the walls of Avignon. The city center is inside walls built by the Romans in the 13th or 14th century. …
A car, a train, a train…
...a plane, a plane, a bus, a train, a car. Many modes of transportation to get here. We made it to Avignon after what I think to be 24 real hours. I awake on a houseboat on the Rhone river. Beautiful crisp morning on France. Today I begin my quest for wine, bread and coffee. …

The last bit of magic…
Today we rafted nine miles down the Arkansas River. Awesome. We absolutely loved it. Our guide was amazing, our crew was so much fun, and we were so good, we stood up and paddled through one of the Rapids. It was a small rapid, but still it was fun. We have had so much adventure on …
Cleeaaaannnn!
Our first night with all the amenities! We three took hot showers, therefore the It'll Do and we no longer STINK! Aaahhhhhh.
Oh…
...I just bought a new hat at the campground office.
Mountain passes…
...for the moment, I am done with them. As a passenger, they are beautiful. As a driver of an RV, they are not easy or relaxing. Monarch pass was our path today. We have landed in Buena Vista tonight. Happy and tired. But ready for one more day of magic tomorrow.
