Goodbye Lacoste

We are leaving Lacoste, but what an adventure it has been. We have been very busy over the past couple of days with Internet time spent route planning and airline ticket browsing as well as Lacoste farm adventures and beyond.
While here we were able to enjoy the start of spring with almond blossoms, but also catch the end of truffle season. And since George is a huge part of the community we enjoyed exciting advetures like showing park officials large old growth oaks, or helping him plant apricot trees. We also enjoyed time spent with Crystal chatting about world events or driving around the Luberon area to places like the red soils of Roussille.

Photos: Gen and I say goodbye to Lacoste; goodbye Lacoste.
