9 years ago we offered courses for teachers in France and Italy. The first time we offered the courses I was able to travel and spend some time with each of the groups and spend some time auditing things.
These snaps are from our course in France which was offered in the Montpellier area.
One of my retirement tasks has been to go through the thousands of photos that I have filed over the years. Over the weekend I found the file from when I was in France observing a course that we were running at work. It was a French course and the candidates had class time in the morning and we would do a tour in the afternoon. On one day we went to Avignon and after the tour I wandered around a bit. I had forgotten about how much I liked it and wanted to return. Funny ow looking at pics brings back all sorts of memories.
One of the popular social media activities right now is for people to post pics of places that have made them happy. You know the pics, the ones you look at and you get that feeling of calm and happiness inside. I've decided to do that for this week's edition of Travel Tuesdays.
This is the 15th edition from my self isolation. In case you're wondering about the theme . . . I've not had my breakfast yet and am hungry.

This is the 14th edition from my self isolation (I skipped last week because of my birthday)

This is the 7th edition from my self isolation.
A number of years we ran an AQ course in France. I got to travel with the candidates for a short period of time to see that everything was up to our standards in the program. It was a tough gig.
Here are some shots from that trek.
Over the past few weeks I have spent hours locked up in a hotel meeting room with my boss. We found lots of time to chat about our common love of travel. France has a place in her heart. With all of our conversations I decided to revisit my one trip to France for my Travel Tuesdays post this week.
This picture tells the tale of two vineyards which sit side-by-side in Bordeaux.
The land cannot help but tell the story. On the left, totally organic farming with soils full of life. On the right, chemical driven farming using Monsanto roundup, where the soils look parched and hard. Choose.
Woulr you rather drink wine made from the grapes grown in the left vineyard or the right?
This week's Photo Hunt theme is unknown.
When I see graffiti like this I often wonder what ever became of the folks who visited the site back in 1850. . . of course, it is unknown. Of course, me being me, and if I have the time, I make up a story in my mind.
By the way, this is the site where I spied that 163 year old graffiti.
This week's Photo Hunt theme is 'zany'.
I thought this display at the market in Avignon was zany.
