Medival Times

I am now in the Luberon. This is the area famous for its lavender and red wine. The grapes are being harvested now and the lavender has past. The fields have been cut and the bales of hay are rolled. Today was a bit overcast with some rain. It was still at pretty drive.
I drove through the village, Saturin-a apt. It was very beautiful. It still had much of its medieval charm. It was very quiet and there were almost no people around. There are 2 views of each village, the one you see on approach and the one you see when you are inside. This village was great either way.
I tried to go to Rousillon which is supposed to be the big attraction. I could not find a parking space in any of its 5 parking lots. I decided to go to find my hotel and after the St. Tropez experience, retink my plan for tomorrow.
My hotel is charming. It is an old farm house converted to a hotel. Although my room is small and musty smelling (i bought an airfreshener and I am keeping the window open). Other than that it is perfect. I am having dinner here. It is quite a bit out of town and it is just easier. Hopefully, it will be good.
Anyway, that it it for now. I will post some pictures and add anything I can think of later.

By the way, dinner was outstanding. The woman that runs the place really does a nice job. She looks like Juliann.
