Sunday

In a world where Sunday seems to make very little difference in terms of commerce, it's enlightening to spend some time in the south of France where things still really do shut down for Sunday.
After sending Tony, Jackie, Dianne & Tim off to Vinsorbres for some ice bags - the big wineries do maintain a Sunday presence - Dawn & I drove to the Carrefour in Orange to discover that the whole commercial centre at Orange Sud is closed up tight for the entire Sunday. We did, however have a backup plan because we knew the downtown Orange Intermarche was open mornings on Sunday. So off we went for some dinner essentials for tonight.
Lesson to self: take Sunday off. It feels good! But, you have to plan for it.
The rest of the day, Tony & Jackie's last in the south, was a slow one, with a few late day photo ops about town as the day's highlight.
