Lot's of stuff. Let's start with La Fountaine de Vaucluse.

I have not blogged in awhile. So this might be long. 

To start. Let's talk about the Fountaine de Vaucluse. Vaucluse is the providence that I live in in France. La Fountaine de Vaucluse is this spring that has no bottom. Well, at least divers have not been able to find the bottom. Yes, it is very deep. It is also terribly cold. The water was so pure though that I didn't noticed I had stepped into it.

 Luckily Brad yelled "Shawna! You're standing in the water!" and I could jump out before I completely soaked my brand new Converse. The seem to be impermeable to water though. I walked away unscathed. 

After visiting the town, we visited the village. It carries the same name as the fountain. It was a little town and it was a bit touristy. There was also this huge hill to climb to a chateau. It was very hot but Brad, Kelby and I decided to climb it. It was completely gorgeous up there. And terribly high! I was scared. In the picture with my one leg up, I was standing on a steep ledge and I was scared to death. 

Luckily there was no Mistral that day or I would have blown right off! Kelby continued on up the mountain (he's the adventurous, hiking, rock climbing type) and Brad and I decided to head back down because it was so hot. I actually sported some shorts on this hike (it's very taboo for girls to wear shorts here without pantyhose underneath. Yeah I know, don't ask). Brad and a group of our friends hung out by the cold river the rest of the day. You could literally drink the water it was so clear. 

We were initially in the city because there is another Resistance Museum there. The students in the Resistance class (I didn't take it because I was not at that level and it requires a LOT of work) had a meeting with a group of senior citizens who participated in the movement. I could have met them, but I had a feeling I wouldn't understand their accents. And I was right. I met up with them at the museum later. They were nice, but I had trouble understanding them.

Overall the day was wonderful. I got some more ice cream, of course and then we headed back. I wish I could post more photos of the fountain, but I can only upload 5 photos per post.
