The South of France is Gorges!

Yes, today we ventured around gorge country. The towns we hit were Gordoun and Vence, but we saw many, many villages in between.

So on to the pictures!

This is a sundial in Gourdon. In Gourdon, we bought some delicious lavender mustard and I got some yummy perfume. The mustard is oh-so-delicious!Gourdon is a tiny, tiny village at the very tip top of a mountain that exists because people go to the top for the 200 degree views. Here is a cute little cat taking a nap amongst some very expensive glass.
We stopped halfway up a gorge for a delicious lunch just like yesterday's--except with lavender mustard. We had an excellent view of this village while we ate.
On the way to Vence, we passed a field of rocks. They weathered there like that and here I am in the middle of the rocks. Underneath the entire field is a series of caves.
All of the rest of the pictures in Vence are of architectural details. Tomorrow we are going to tour a perfumary (Grasse is the world's perfume-making capital) and then hit Cannes to spend some time on the beach!

Oh, and Mohini and I successfully (between the two of us) had an entire conversation with a saleswoman today in French about the price of a pair of shoes. We were quite proud of ourselves.
