Counting Down Again!

We are off again on another adventure.  France AGAIN you ask?  We have never been to the south east part of the country – everyone goes to Provence so we are going to Languedoc – right next door.  We have heard the wine and the cheese are especially good in that region.  Actually the opportunity came up to rent an apartment in Montpellier from a friend in Victoria and what we have learned over the years – when the opportunity presents itself – grab it quick.  It seldom comes back to knock a second time.

Our new favorite saying “Travelling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”  Leaving any money in the bank is not going to make us richer – certainly not after this week in the markets!  

So off we go with hopes of some good day hikes in the French countryside, to get to know Montpellier a little bit, some visits to little towns that have been on our list for some time: Nîmes, Bezier, Avignon, Arles.  We plan to travel by train to visit these places and as many outdoor markets as we can find.  Our apartment is a good 15k walk to the Mediterranean with endless places to stop for a coffee or a glass of French wine at an outdoor café.  We have even heard there is a wine cave within walking distance.  We plan to keep you posted with our blog as we share our adventure with you.  Stay tuned!
