Fields of Lavender and still Recovering

55 Miles / 4126 ft. Cavaillon, FR. We are still not 100% and Lisa further away than myself. We were lucky to be riding amongst huge fields of post harvested lavender fields, and the aroma was often still present. A special treat was a tractor pulling a huge stock of lavender in their wagon and we rode behind it for a km or so. It is getting more mountainous, and our eyes are always drawn to the hilltops with beautiful château or steeples. The air is still very dry, and the soil has no moisture in it. We also are intrigued by the white snails that are all over signs, plants, trees and anything they find themselves to attach to. We made it to our Warmshower hosts at 6 PM, enjoyed a delicious barbecue and lots of laughs and stories in their garden. Again, these special moments are why we enjoy these trips so much!❤️ Tomorrow is going to be a tough day, but with some help from our Warmshower hosts, they have alleviated some of the climbing and reduce the miles a bit.Read more
