Good morning and thanks all! We've had several visits to Provence, and spent several weeks there, but not Marseille. Mostly pre digital, so I’m enjoying the wonderful photos! We had the good fortune to stay right near Pont du Gard, and see the running of the bulls in Uzes. We loved the tears on the gates of the cemetery in Loumarin and worried if we’d see our teens again after they visited the market in Isle de Sorgue. My prime memory of Les Baux was the squat toilets we talked about a week or so ago about, as my then teen daughter could not face them. We also ate a restaurant in St Remy run by a former matador from Arles. Our favourite used to be Aix en Provence. Such beautiful fountains and shoppes.

@ger_77 woo hoo! Wonderful news!

Rabbit x 3. Good morning and thanks all! @smitty34877 glad you got checked out, and as hard as it is to do. Please take care of YOU. There’s a reason on the airplane they say to put your oxygen mask on first. Hugs! @kazu anniversaries are always hard, but sending you extra hugs today as your remember Jose! @ger_77 oh I am so relieved to hear your news. Our friend had that surgery in November and was able to go to Hawaii in January, truly a wonderful outcome. So hoping that will be the case for Maurice as well! Loving all the doodle photos. The Fault in the stars is such a great book. I am reading another great one, the Covenant of Water, over 700 pages and I will be truly sad when I finish. We've enjoyed Juneau a couple of times

@RMLincoln so sorry that you are having to deal with so much! Prayers things improve for your DH soon, hugs!

Well it SNOWED again! Sigh! I’m leaving it 🙃

I’ve often wondered if the reason you’re so busy is to distract you. Sending hugs, it takes time, and some r and r might be just what you need.

@marshhawkpraying for some relief for you and Chuck!

Good morning and thank all! Sending good wishes for all those medical appointments today. I’m heading off this morning as well. We thoroughly enjoyed Kochi, beautiful vintage silk kimonos were also for sale! I may have purchased a few. There is also a lovely castle to visit, slippery ladders to climb and a beautiful bridge. Don’t miss their hay smoked tuna.

yes we encountered them the first night jet lagged, but there were also very modern ones, Here’s one from France, 😱😉

For those that are interested, we stayed in a Machiya, a former store in the historic centre of Kyoto.

Kyoto deserves a separate post and stay, it was our favourite

Good morning and thanks all! Happy fifth to the daily! Thanks @rafinmdfor your timeline, and to @ger_77 for the reminder about that zoom call! It was fun! I will gladly celebrate those dear Brave hearts and super heroes! Everyday! @smitty34877 yikes! now you have to look after you or you’re no good to anyone! I just hope it heals well and quickly and you get a little r and r! @Cruzin Terri sorry to hear of your loss, sending prayers for support as you navigate these new waters. @Seasick Sailor that will be a fabulous cruise to celebrate on! Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto are often visited from the same place, usually Osaka. Highly recommend the Kobe beef and a visit to Kyoto, preferably for a few nights! We stayed in the area where the cattle are raised, and although extremely expensive it’s worth a try. They have unusual but delicious breakfasts, salads often served then; as well as the most unusual toilets.

Thank you!

Aw thanks! And to @JazzyV as well, CC not cooperating again! Most are by DH so credit to him. I am planning to do a little photo book but he got a new better camera, lol!

Aw thanks @DeeniEncinitas @Quartzsite Cruiser and @marshhawk you made me giggle! Went to another spot and found this baby eaglet. So much fun, to see the babies!
