Yesterday morning I set out to follow our routine from home and go for a walk and meet Frank later for coffee. It's only about a 10-minute walk into town from here, so I improvised by cutting behind the chateau assuming there had to be a trail across that meadow which would let me walk a complete circle of the village before meeting him. Hah! After what seemed like about 45 minutes (but was probably less) on a nice trail through the woods leading away from Lourmarin, I finally encountered a little dirt road that crossed the stream and turned back toward the village. It turned out to be a great walk, but I still need to make my circuit of the village.
We frittered away the rest of the morning over coffee at one of the cafes. It was a holiday, so there were lots of visitors around, and the people watching was great! That led to lunch, which led to a nap. Finally late in the afternoon we managed to squeeze in a beautiful drive completely around the Petit Luberon before dinner.
Life is good!
