We are enjoying our days of respite here in Avignon. The hotel has turned out to be perfect, and we’ve done tons of walking.
Back in Marseille, I had hoped to introduce The Hubs to a typical European
fresh market. I had imagined buying fresh fish and produce and preparing it in
our AirBnB apartment. Obviously, that didn’t happen but after arriving in
Avignon, I re-discovered its fresh market. I marched The Hubs over there
first thing Tuesday morning and was gratified to see his face light up when we
stepped inside.
On Wednesday morning we returned to the market and purchased several cheeses, enormous tomatoes, avocado, chocolate, wine, and bread. Later on, we set up a picnic for ourselves at a table under shade trees in our hotel courtyard. Delightful.
Tomorrow, we’ll check out of this hotel and walk a few blocks to the hotel that is the start point for our 2nd cycling tour. We’ll get our bikes and instructions in the afternoon.
