The long and winding road

You know how some days start out sucking but end up amazing?

Steve slept too late, and Zoe ate too little, and my cool morning walk to the neighboring village through the vineyards turned into a mid-day ordeal that ended in the middle due to intolerable heat and whining.

But 2 pm brought a wine tasting and a tour of the cellar right below us

Then, since most businesses in our village were closed Mondays, we drove to the neighboring town-Vaison la Romaine. Though the mission had just been to feed a child who had refused to eat all day, it turned into one of the highlights of the trip.

The town clings to the side of the Montmirail mountains, with terraces winding high above the river and the Roman bridge.

After feeding Zoe in the most beautiful creperie in the world (see view), we explored the heights of the medieval town during the late afternoon.
