A long walk up the hill, but the fountains on the way down were
amazing. -Gerrit

A city of fountains
Woke up late and are now in Barjols, a city of fountains. Here is a
cool mushroom fountain where it comes out of the top and drips through
the moss. -Gerrit

Arrival in Provence
We arrived in Provence this afternoon. Ollie and An met us at the
train station. We picked up a rental car (too many people for Ollie's
car), and headed up to visit Ollie's grandparents who are staying with
friends in the area. Their friends own a beautiful house and guest
house. They have a little swimming pool that the boys played in. The
owner gave us a tour of his garden (syrah and Grenache grapes,
lavender and a veggie garden). The house is on a creek, too. You can
really see the effects of the flooding from last weeks storm on his
property. Nothing of his was damaged, but the hight the creek rose to
and the debris from a camper caught in the flood are pretty
surprising. -Gerrit

Train to Draguignan
Should have set the alarm this morning. Nana saved our bacon by
waking us with just enough time to catch the train. Boys slept 12
hours. We'll meet Ollie in 3 hours. Yeah. -Gerrit
