It is time to skeedaddle, mes amis. Ah yes, do you hear the pounding of hooves in the Arena and the rolling of wine barrels towards the bars? It can only mean one thing, the Feria de Pâques has arrived yet again.
And this year, we have a new bodega or nightclub that is conveniently located right under…
…our bedroom window! So let’s follow that arrow…
…and leave the old things behind…
…for a bit of new!
Some time in the outdoors…
…to watch the shadows twist and turn…
…under the big blue sky.
I will let the crowds slake their blood-thirst and come back to the quieter Arles that I know and love next week. So please pardon me, it is time to dosey doe…off I go…
Kids, I know that a lot of you don’t have instagram (although you don’t need a smart phone to follow along, just take a gander here) so I thought that I would share some of my recent favorite photos. I have prepared a few very light posts for while we are gone. Alas someone beat us to the punch and reserved our beloved cabanon in the Luberon but we have found another in the country outside of L’Isle sur la Sorgue which looks lovely. However, they have told us that internet and phone connections are shaky. So if you don’t hear a peep from me, not to worry, I’ll be back soon and I will take this time to wish you a bit in advance a very Happy Easter weekend for those that are celebrating and for everyone else, Happy Spring!
You have no idea! Especially as said nightclub is in Pipi Alley… 🙁
Hope you had a lovely Easter…
Oh, I hear you Janey. We went twice to the Antiques Fair (the huge semiannual big dealy) and the first time it was empty, the second I wanted to flee! Still it was interesting. Did you like your rental in Loumarin??
Just what the doc ordered, friend…now if I could somehow transport YOU there…
Thank you, Jennifer. It was a complete blessing (no pun intended) – made me think about how much time I spend at home…
I took so many that I filled up my memory card!!! Did you buy lots of antiques when you were there? It is La Contessa Heaven!
It was very Springlike and quiet Sharon. I hope that yours was wonderful too…
Merci, Cole. As much as I have made fun of it in the past, I now am enjoying Instagram, I have to admit…!
I know. Think pagan and you will be closer to the mark!
