Gettin' Outta Dodge

Good-bye Balmont, cows, and our farmhouse on the hill.

We have decided to pull up stakes 2 days early and head south tomorrow morning.

While Balmont and the surrounding area has been peaceful and idyllic, it has not been the most stimulating of environments. We've been to Lyon twice, went to the 'Hat Museum', have walked miles in the countryside, have said 'hi' to a lot of cows, have played numerous card games, and have driven to numerous villages within a 50 kilometre radius.

The villages have been just that. Villages. We haven't seen all that many people in the streets, we've tried to go for lunches and/or coffees but the cafes always seem to be closed, and there is very little to do or see. This part of the world doesn't seem to be set up for tourists like us.

Joe has booked us in to the Hotel Calendal in Arles for the next two nights. He and I stayed there four years ago when we were in Provence.

Good-bye Balmont!
