Sunday is not a day of rest

We got up early and got to markets in a small town some distance away. A big antique town but we did find a few gifts that would fit but I really was eyeing this 4 foot round table that could open up with added leaves to be …14 foot long!

We were with a hired guide because Philipe was busy at the hotel with Mothers day lunch. Gordana was originally Serbian and guides in English so she says she now speaks three languages but none of them well. She was hoot. And very very knowledgeable about the wines in France and the region. She wanted us to see another beautiful spot near by so we were shorter in Ile sur la Sourge than the original program and we just grabbed a piece of pizza to hold us cause we all thought we were stopping at St Remy but we ended up back at the Hotel so it was probably a good thing for my waist line. We had more rest and packing prep.

We met Cecelia and Denis Moshella that morning and had a long visit with them in the evening before dinner. They are from Newport Beach and really nice.  That Night was our Graduation and we got certificates and had drinks with Philipe and Martina, the owners of Domaine de Valmouriane We had a big meal in the terrace off the dinning room and later we snuck into the kitchen to get photos with Pascal and to say au revoir.
