1:09pm - Saturday: Apt

We went to the market this morning in Apt. The market has been going on every Saturday for 900 years. It sprawled all throughout le centre ville, through the narrow streets and courtyards. We wandered in and out but because we're leaving tomorrow morning, we thought that it wasn't wise to buy much produce. Everything looked really healthy and delicious but we didn't need anything.

We did however buy lunch. Ang bought a large pizza (of the fluffy crust variety) and I ventured into unknown territory and bought some Lapin de Provence avec Riz. Rabbit stew with Rice. It was a toss up between the rabbit, le tripe, le canard or the paella. Even though the paella looked the tastiest, I thought it best to leave that for when I visit Spain.

I just had a taste of the lapin and guess what? It tastes like chicken.

Okay, we have dinner reservations in Bonnieux for tonight. Ang called to make reservations and she did an amazing job conversing with the man on the phone.

Tomorrow we head off to Paris for a change of pace. Goodbye French countryside...helloooooooooooooo City of Light!!!!
