Grand Adventures and Household Chores
Reflections on our family’s adventures as we live, work, and play around the world
The woman we are staying with in L’isle-sur-la-Sorgue has grandchildren near Theo’s age and lots of toys, including a balance bike. Most of the nearby streets are only sporadically driven on by cars, so Theo has been experimenting with riding down them.
This photo in no way captures the huge mass of venders and shoppers that is the L’isle-sur-la-Sorgue twice weekly market. The (smaller) Thursday market is about twice as large as any market we’ve previously visited, and the Sunday market is ginormous. Interwoven with the many different types of food stands, we’ve seen stands selling clothing, shoes, yarn, fabric, and small electronics.
Really tasty. Brian asked if we could go back every day.
Brian looked puzzled in every shot that I took of him and Theo with this giant bowl of ice cream. There seem to be approximately 2.3 ice cream shops for every resident of L’isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
I’ve posted before about how much I enjoyed Lyon, but I’ll say it again: I think this is an an amazingly livable, relaxed city. Here are some of our favorites from our one month stay!
We spent a few hours in Gordes and watched (and felt) the fog roll in. Many of the shops were closed, but we found a place to buy hot chocolate, the perfect foggy-weather drink.
