Enjoying Provence

Today is my mom's birthday! We are happy to actually be here, across the pond, to celebrate with her! We celebrated with her friends at a delicious luncheon at Anna's house in Mane. It's been awesome to see some familiar faces from our trip here last summer.

We are in the midst of three weeks in Provence. We've been lounging around my mom's house, enjoying the amazing view off her balcony.

This is me on a hike near my mom's house. Behind me is Mont D'or and the town of Manosque.

    Hi cheap campers! Sounds like you are still enjoying the EU landscape, language, and all it has to offer. Especially the people. Happy Birthday to your mom, Stephanie! Grandma Drews had her 94th birthday this past week too! Are you getting any of the fall-out from the volcano. All travel to Europe has been halted now for 3-4 days...and they say it may be another 4 days or more!!! When do you return to the U.S.? Hope you enjoy the rest of your travels, and have a safe trip home. Love you all, mom jan
