Monday, June 22

Another day of rest. The woodworking classes are Tuesday through Friday. So Mondays are a day of travel, which worked out well for me getting here, and now leaves a day of sightseeing before the next session starts. So I took a drive around the Canyon of the Verdon, sometimes called the grand canyon of France. The little Fiat that I rented is a lot of fun to drive, but the roads are often narrow and curvy. It was actually al little tense driving some of those roads a thousand meters above the canyon river with steep drop offs and no guardrails. But oh such beautiful scenery - quite magnificent! I had lunch at a little eatery that served only crepes, sitting high atop the bluff that overlooks the canyon, a rare and unique place. Then more scary winding steep roads to get back, but quite thrilling nonetheless.
So I'm back here at Aiguines and people are starting to arrive. There will be two groups this week, our woodturning group, and a small group making jewelry. So supper should be within the hour, is just past 7pm now. So until tomorrow.
