Driving and biking

Throughout the week leading up to and after Christmas we continued to have adventures. One day Mz and I went for a drive, turning down roads when we thought it was a good one to try. This led us to a look out point straight north of the village. The view was nice and wide despite the road that took us there, which we vowed to never take again.

Another day Randy and I took off for a drive which took us to the village of Corconne at the feet of massive cliffs of the limestone Coutach massif. Looking to the west and straight up, a church lookout dating back to 1188 rests on top. Corconne was spared during the cholera outbreak of 1854.

We found a makeshift parking spot and set out hiking for the top. From the top we saw Mount Ventoux to the east, Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Pic Saint-Loup to the southwest. Such a clear day to see it all.

Bike riding adventures continue as well. Randy took me on a ride alongside vineyards, down and up country roads, winding nature paths, under tree house cottages, and through a winery. Cody was given a tracking device for Christmas so we can watch him and the kids while they go on their daily biking adventures.
