Vaucluse

After lunch with A&B, we headed out to show them this beautiful part of France, and area they haven't been lucky enough to see yet. We followed our road, the Route du Murs, up to the Col du Murs. (Col means peak.) We were expecting a view from the top, but it was too forested to see much. Still, the drive up was beautiful, through what passes for wilderness in France. It is rugged and dry, and steep and rocky.

Murs is a town, and its name means "wall." There was nothing about the town, pretty as it was, that suggested that it should be called Wall. At the crest of the town is a castle, and just outside are beautiful green fields which made a nice background for photos of Ria and the town.
