After Aix, we based ourselves in Avignon for a few more days, as it’s a great base for some gorgeous day rides. (Believe it or not, we still wake up in the morning feeling like going for a ride). When we were France in October, we had cold temperatures and thunderstorms. On our return, with the exception of that first morning in Marseille, we have had nothing but crisp blue, beautiful skies. The temperatures are still chilly but manageable and, best of all, the fall colors are in full bloom. Cycling through fields ablaze with golden yellow and red; could it be more beautiful than this? We cycled as slowly as we’ve ever had, stopping at almost every turn, trying to soak up every image, every moment. Wow!
Not only did we get in some awesome day rides but we made new friends as well. Yanning, Melissa and Diego, thank you sooooooooo much for your generosity. We could not have had a better time.
