To the Sea!
We decided to go see the sea...Mediterranean Sea. It was Dustin's first time and we were so close.
We decided to go to the small town of Cassis along the coast.
The drive there was only about two hours and was gorgeous. We drove through the National Park of Luberon which, was hilly and forested. On the way there we happened upon a lovely chateau! (french for castle). I got really excited so of course we had to stop and take pictures.
Once, in Cassis we walked to the trail head and hiked to see the calanques or rocky inlets.
It was very beautiful and the breeze off the water was very refreshing. We picnicked along the rocky calanques of the sea and watched boats come in and out.
We decided to hike and explore further and ended up finding a perfect little nook in the rocks or our own personal calanque. My shoulders got a little burnt as did the top of Dustin's head.
After our hike we did some shopping in the town of Cassis. Since, we were so close to Italy of course we had to have some gelato (Italian ice cream and one of the most amazing foods). We ate our ice cream while watching older french men play the national pastime of France la boule better known as bocci balls.
We headed home on the way we took a picture of the southern vineyards. Also, I got my very first lesson of driving a stick.
That night we had ate dinner at La Coquillade a beautiful winery nearby our B&B that had two restaurants with amazing views of the surrounding country side.
