Doors in Provence France

 Avignon








Arles





Brotte Musuem  Chateauneuf-du-Pape prized bottle/unique shape and yes, that's a door, see the hinges? 


Nimes 



Villeneuve-les-Avignon Chartreuse monestary


Saintes-Maries-sur-de-la-Mer
This door meant a lot to me because there is a bullfight arena and these are special bulls endemic to this region and they don't kill the bulls, see my blog on Saintes-Maries-sur-de-la-Mer



Avignon window because it was so cool. this building was from the 1600's with many iterations until the 1970's when it became the center for the performing arts festival that's in Avignon every July

I need a map our Avignon rental is so large!

 For those of you who have been in our 954 sq foot townhouse, you will understand the title of our spacious, beautifully appointed down to the Anoki napkins from Jaipur India 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental in the old city in Avignon France. We negotiated with the owner of this  https://www.sabbaticalhomes.com    flat.  Adding to this post because we're so cold, we had to learn how to use the wall electric radiators. There's one in the master bedroom & one in entry hall. None in the other bedrooms or common living areas so we really don't understand how it works.  We used the trail and error method to operate the radiator We used the trial and error method to operate the radiator Odd there there are only these two: one in master and the other entry hall.  We really should contact owners to operate correctly.  Would like to add how much I've appreciated using the 3rd bedroom as my yoga room

I had another incident with a dog and all I had to do was pick up a rock and it put it's tail between it's legs and returned to it's home property.   Interacting with the villagers when we didn't share a same language was a memorable experience.  For example the young boy under the billboard was looking like he was having a bad day.

  Relaxology Kupang Imagine having a layover in Kupang and discovering a spa with over 5,000 reviews and a 4.9 score on Google? Open 11-9 if Google maps is accurate, they didn't answer their phone to book a reservation; we took a cab anyway to  Jl. Frans Seda No.5, Kayu Putih, Kec. Oebobo, Kota Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Tim. 85228, Indonesia and were immediately offered treatment. I chose the 2 hour Reflexology/Thai massage option for $12/50 USD.   Yanti gave me the best massage! I asked her to show her name so I could write a review. These photos make me smile and trigger happy, satisfied memories. Kupang   is the capital of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara.
