Driving to Nice
It rained and stormed all night for our last night in the tent. The mountain tops were not visible until mid morning. The mountain scenery was still spectacular and in addition to seeing the Alps, we also saw the other 2 things on Marie's "must see before we leave" list, the lavender fields and the Chutes de xxxx or what is known as the Grand Canyon of France. Both were truly enjoyable to see and we hope to return some day to see more.
We met Franck, our warm showers list host, by the old church in Le Rouret at about 6:30. He was on his bike riding home from work. We followed him to his house about 1.5 kms away. It is a typical French-looking home with a nice view of the cities and Mediterranean Sea below. He shares the house with 4 roommates while completing his PHD work. We chatted and a little later his roommate prepared a nice dinner and we all sat outside on a beautiful evening enjoying good food and company.
