CVG & Marseilles Again

 It appears we may have imported Ontario's rain, because we had a substantial rainfall yesterday and today - which was badly needed.  The temperatures also dipped to Ontario levels but are promised to recover to Provencal standards later in the week. 

Peter and Margaret had some neighbours over for a drink in the afternoon which was lovely.



Last evening after the rain paused, we did go out for dinner  to the patio of a very nice restaurant in Ste. Cecile les Vignes called Compagne Vignes Gourmandises or CVG for short.

CVG
We started off with a glass of champagne and nibblies then we had fabulous meal of lobster with an exceptional northern Rhone red  from Cornas.                                                    

Today Peter & Margaret finished packing and off to the airport in Marseilles we went. We also parked their car and picked up a larger vehicle for the next few days. The Alamo booth was hoping busy. We noticed that the wind has build up to nice howl on the drive back to Cairanne. Not sure if it's a mistral but typically these winds carry on for three days. I guess the bonus is cleaner air. Tomorrow the Whites arrive by TGV from Nice.
