Beginning tomorrow, we explore Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in Maryland (and Virginia) US. That’s tomorrow. Today, I am napping after sipping wine in a lavender bath.

Where To Shop (reviews)
Les Halles de Avignon is a covered market located in the heart of Avignon that offers a true taste of Provence. It’s a great spot to experience local culture and pick up high-quality regional products. Open every morning except Monday, the market has a lively atmosphere with around 40 vendors.
The Marché Provençal in Aix-en-Provence is one of the best-known markets in the region. Held several times a week (with different sections for flowers, antiques, and food), it’s a quintessential Provençal market experience with an incredible array of fresh produce, flowers, herbs, and local crafts.
he Mason du Savon de Marseille provides an excellent selection of soaps made from local lavender and olive oil at reasonable prices.
Provence is a region in which we are reminded to slow down, smell the flowers, taste the food and drink the wine. Planning a visit? You can find the full details, photos, and links from this week here.
Tomorrow, our greetings will arrive from Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in Maryland (and Virginia) US.
