Sorry it's been so long for an update! We've been traveling, and my two online classes started last week, so I've been trying to focus on them. Speaking of which, I think their expectations of 4 SUBSTANTIVE posts are a little outrageous when they are asking level 1 thinking questions...it's hard to dig in to a question that just has a factual answer....
Anyway, I wanted this update to be about our trip to the Med! After climbing Alpe D'Huez, we headed pretty much straight south. The plan had been to stop and climb Mt Ventoux, but we woke up too late, and Caley had forgotten what day it was and had a column due...oops! So I drove, he wrote, and we aimed for the sea! It was really fun seeing some of the same places we did in October, but in their full summertime splendor! It was the week before all the kids got out for school, so still not as insanely crowded as things will be this weekend. Caley had the brilliant idea of trying to find the same beach that he visited with his family 10 years ago; it was so nice they stayed for a few more days than they had originally planned to. It took awhile to remember the name of the place, but we figured it out, and I'm sooo glad we did! We ended up staying too nights at a nice little campground about a 5 min walk from the beach. Camping in Europe is pretty hilarious. You get electricity, and our plot even had a refrigerator you could connect. They have sinks for washing dishes, and showers (with hot water at certain hours of the day). Some even have restaurants or bars that you can hang out at. Many have pools! You're not exactly roughing it...
We got out for a bike ride on the bike path that followed the coast. Our legs felt like total crap after Alpe D'Huez, so it was a good thing we got out....Caley's Gran Fondo was up next!
Here are some pics from that part of the trip!
And a video of a typical driving scene :)
