As I mentioned in an earlier post my brother lived in France and made some wonderful friends with whom he had to share with Jason and I. Without ever meeting us Laurence put together a beautiful afternoon lunch gathering with a group of the most wonderful people I think I've ever met. I now know why my brother loves them so much and anticipates moving back to Provence one day! Yves met us at our hotel in the morning then took us to an incredible market in Sur la Sorgue-a beautiful town filled with antiques and an aroma of freshly baked bread. After a drive through beautiful country roads that you only see in movies and narrow winding cobblestone streets fit only for the European cars we arrived at Laurence and Robert's home. We were greeted with a feast of mussels steamed in olive oil and herbs de provence, tomato and basil tart, fresh organic salad with balsamic dressing and then a platter of delicious cheeses. We sat on the terrace until sunset enjoying food, laughter, stories, and wine. I have to say it was the best part of our trip and we will cherish the memories!
