Not Your Typical Provence Photo

In Avignon now, where it'll a high of 3 degrees C today.

It's been a great week. (Although cold. Cold, cold, COLD! By my tropical standards anyway)
Love the little markets. Great cheese, proscuitto, baguette, fresh fruit and veg! NY Eve dinner in Avignon. Subtle use of truffle. Great service.

So many small towns and so much great food, friendly people. Cute buildings and castles. It's like walking in a page from a fairytale. This was shot at a winery earlier this week. Lotsa fog and tons of atmosphere. Although it warmed up to the teens later in the afternoon.

You wouldn't believe how many "Provence in the winter? Why?????" questions we got. But hey - having a great time anyway. No crowds, lots of parking, no queues for restaurants, and no need to elbow other tourists and their cameras out of the way.

So, maybe sometimes the road less travelled, in the off season, is not so bad. Now - I'm going to find a sweater and bundle up.
