A Quiet Day Around Aix

Today we thought we would have a leisurely day in our area, we started our day with a trip to the market and purchase what we need for dinner tonight. This has become quite routine and am enjoying this very much. Today we chose fresh tuna steaks and built our meal around them.

After our market trip we ventured out on a little road trip on the little side roads, we were really enjoying seeing the countryside and the collections of homes in the area when we came upon this...




We had no idea there was a nuclear plant so close in our area! This plant was located near the town of Gardanne. We did some research when we got back to our apartment and France has several nuclear power plants.
We then ventured onward and came to the own of Les Milles, we stopped there for a little pastis and Don got his hair cut at the Institute de Beauty! That is the name they give their hair salons, the girl fussed over him for little over an hour and we both agreed it was one of the best cuts he's had in a long time.


After he haircut we went home and cooked our delicious dinner! I can't believe tomorrow is our last day in Provence, these two weeks have gone by so fast. Then it is on to the Burgundy and Loire regions!


Bonne nuit,

Barb & Don
