Pont Julian

Today started with a run along the bike path Cavallon, starting from Pont Julian. Passing vineyards filled with grapes, still not ready for picking.  For me, running still not happening, but managed to run for 10min's, then did 1 minute on and 1 off for 50 minutes, still got a sweat up . BB a run towards Lacoste then a skinny dip in the murky water beneath the bridge, along with some spectators. Collected some nice photos, then drive about 8k to Apt and picked up today shopping . A short drive back to Bonnieux, stopping along the way at Chateau Canorgue-, the one used in "A Good Year. Bought 2 bottles of Rouge, one from 2011 and one from 2012 as we were first here in 2011 and this would be the wine from that time. Sure we will enjoy the tasting. Each bottle cost about 9.20 euro. When we finally reached Bonnieux , jackpot, the market was still going, had a quick browse, nice photos of all the goodies, colourful bags, oils, nuts , olives , hand made soaps, lots of lavender, clothes and jewellery, cheeses and charcuterie. Then walked up the top of town for a picnic of baguette, rocket, tomato, wholegrain mustard and some very melted cheese as the temp today is about 34. Watched the last 100k of the tour in Ibis Cavaillon, 5 minute interruption as the power went down and the fire alarm went off in the hotel , but otherwise, it was cooler inside and much more comfortable

Afternote: Wine was wonderful, enjoyed every mouthful. Characteristics of a Shiraz, but it also had two other grape varieties and this made it much smoother. Yum Yum Yum . Along with BB going for a run and returning with a pizza. Yum Yum and more Yum. Heaven.
