Gordes, Rousillon, Villeneuve-lez-Avignon, Usez

Did a lot of sightseeing these last few days (and saw 2 plays and 1 flamenco show, with another play tonight and at least 4 more this coming week). Here are a few pictures of what we did:
The village of Gordes:

Me in front of Gordes:

The lavender fields at the Abbaye de Senanques:

Back in the day the monks slept on hay on the floor, each had his own square as seen below. Today there are 6 Cistercian monks living there (in real beds) with 6 more coming.

The ocre (sp?) in the hills of Rousillon used in artists' paint:

 More ocre (this pic is sideways)

Wine tasting at the Cave Bonnely - the author Samuel Beckett lived with them during WWII.

My nice glass of rose. The rose here is wonderful, not like the yucky stuff in the U.S.

In a bakery in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon: (little mice)

A rather amusing translation of a French menu, and the actual dish (as in the multicolored balls):

Me in Sommieres where I bought my beautiful sundress

 The building in Uzes that I want to buy and do something with:
