7/10: Water Wheels and a Special Dinner

We had a special day planned for Mary Ellen's birthday, starting with the market at L'Isle Sur La Sorgue. The town was too crowded, so we continued on to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Here's the birthday girl in town.

We visited the source of the Sorgue river; two people were diving and lots more were exploring the caves. We had a lovely lunch and on the way home, we stopped by the Abbaye de Senanque, a Cistercian abbey outside of Gordes.

Matthew looks a bit uncertain, but the rest of us were very excited about dinner at Auberge La Feniere, the best restaurant in Lourmarin. We ate outside the old barn in the bistro. It was the best combination of yummy and rustic ever. The official dinner photo looks like a pseudo-family but actually, none of them are related. Missing: Julia, due to an allergy attack and Matt, due to refusal to pose for photos.

Keith took some beautiful shots of the farm as we were leaving. Thanks, Mary Ellen, for celebrating your birthday at this amazing restaurant.
