Bing, Bang, Boom( with emphasis on the bang!)

Well, I made it to Aix En Provence by way of Saignon. Saignon is a lovely little town with a big, old medieval fort. The views from the fort would have been spectacular but it was overcast with occasional rain. Aix is really nothing special.

I will tell you more about both tomorrow. I hit the side of the hotel garage wall with the Mercedes rental. It scratched only the rear passenger door but I am really upset about it.

So tomorrow I am going to Avignon and I will fill you in on today's activities then
Talk to you tomorrow.
I am back and I have recovered from the accident. It really was only a scrape and I think most of it will be buffed out.
Anyway Aix was kind of a disappointment. My hotel was wonderful and it was right on the main drag. My window overlooked this wide tree line street- a combination of Commonwealth Ave and Newbury St.
Within the narrow streets were squares with different kinds of fountains. Other than this there was not much going on. There was a free concert of jazz music at the city hall (Hotel de Ville) and I listened to that for a while. I went to a big square full of restaurants and had dinner. The wind came up and it got chilly so I was glad to get back home.

Before getting to Aix, I happend on the village of Saignon. It was a beautiful little place. There was a huge fort at the top and the windibg streets were charming and well restored. I enjoyed this village more than most of the others.
Well here are some pictures and I will tell the Avignon story starting tomorrow. Til then.....
