Samedi 30 October

Today we are traveling back to Avignon because we are coming home SOON! We said our good –byes to Mariette and George (our hosts) and my mom cried because she thought that they are very sweet people and I thought they are too.

Mariette is Mari Claire’s auntand Mari Claire is a friend of mine along with Kira my other friend who lives with Mari Claire in Florida. We are taking the long route there and it will take about 6 hours and we will be stopping in a lot of little villages along the way. We are going to stay in Hotel De Colbert again because it was very nice. Happy Halloween everyone because Halloween is tomorrow! We stopped in Cucuron to have lunch and then we got on the road again. 

Then we will stop in Bonnieux and then we will be in Avignon by at least 6:00. When we got to Avignon we went to go see if we could find anything to eat. Then we found a little restaurant and it was so simple but so good. The dessert was a raspberry pie and that was great. Then we went back to the hotel and watched a kid singing talent show. Then at long last we went to bed.  

Vendredi 29 October

Today we drove to Monaco, but just for the scenic drive along the coast so we didn’t get out of the car. 

The road is called the Meyon Corniche and it winds along the cliffs on the coast. We were literally on the edge of a cliff and if the wheel of a van had been an inch farther than it was it would have fallen off the cliff. We stopped in Nice again to visit the Chagall and Matisse museums and to get lunch.

We spent the  rest of the afternoon enjoying a sunny afternoon on the beach and we got an ice cream and sat on the beach while I went swimming in the Mediterranean Sea.
