South of France

We drove along the the sea to make our way to France staying along the way on the Italian Riviera. Where we ended up getting to is a place called Montfort-sur-Argens, Provence, France. The place where we are staying was built in 1799, is called a typical Provencal burgher home from the area. Some of the reading says there are about 700 inhabitants in Montfort, maybe years ago there could have been a few thousand. It is very quaint, the person who owns this now is from Sweden and refers to Montfort as a unspoiled village and area that provides a hint of life in “old” Provence. It has been hard getting a lot going here this week as some crazy wind patterns seem to have latched on to the area bringing rain almost all of the time.Our thermometer has been Peter's feet, he decided to buy some shoes and put his flip flops in his bag. We won't be surprised if they come out again in Spain. Maybe that is ok too, to keep us in this place. We did drive out of the area towards Toulon and spent the day by the sea. Blog entries are getting fewer and shorter mostly because we don't seem to run into internet much where we have been. We do have lots of pictures though. The kitchen table is good for us a "monk table" that seats 12 so it is perfect for us. Natalie can be seen here working as the French gourmet chef. Hopefully we will be able to get out a little bit more. There is vineyard after vineyard when Rob and Livy were out cycling you could smell wine everywhere ( probably was just the empty vines from the past harvest ).
