Day 11, July 22

Our last full day in Provence, so after my ride (I took a different route)

and breakfast at the B&B,

we hit the gas station and ATM before driving back across the Vaucluse Plateau to Sault where another market day was in progress.  The lavender near Sault was the best we'd seen, but there was no time for photos, the market was already open.  Have to take some lavender pix on the return.

We arrived in Sault around 11:30.  Joni's shopping list was still not completed, so she took off for the stalls and I hit an outdoor cafe for all my usual indulgences.  As I read the paper and sipped my coffee I was entertained by a French guitar player/singer who focused  on classic American rock.  Thunder storms were rolling in as he sang, and eventually the rain ended his concert.

Around 1, Joni met up with me and we headed back to Saint Saturnin, buying some fruit, bread, and cheese for our lunch.  

On the way home we saw about a 20 degree temperature swing as the thunder storms came and went.  The temp dropped to 73, probably the coolest it's been since we were in France, but by the time we got back to the B&B, it was back in the 90's.

We spent the rest of the afternoon at B&B, eating lunch, watching the storms clouds, packing, swimming,  reading the papers, and watching the end of the Tour on my iPad.

We had dinner in the hilltop, yes another hilltop, village of Caseneuve, at Le Sanglier Parreseux, the  lazy boar.  The meal was amazing, our best in France.
