Today we woke to the sounds of David's nephew and his friend paying soccer. They were home for lunch and it was 1 pm! Everyone was eating an we missed the party. After it was all packed up we walked to the end of the road, which leads on a hike into the Alpilles hills. David's mom calls them mini mountains. We hiked to the top in about 1 hour and it was WINDY. We could see all the way to le mer (the sea). Luke wanted to hike to the next peak, but I put the kabosh on that idea. We trekked back to the house and took a quick dip in the pool. Then we went and explored St.Remy.
St.Remy is fresh and airy. The trees are trimmed so the foliage is only on the top of the trees. This allows it to appear light, but not bright. The roads are narrow and better for horse transportation and cars. It has a small hidden square where David says they perform plays and music. We sat at a cafe and got ham and cheese sandwiches and cappuccinos and then glace, of course!
We then headed back to David's and hung out there for awhile. His mom made a lovely gratin with potatoes and zucchini, feta and mint. It was light and tasty and a perfect way to end the day in St. Remy.
