Two weeks in Provence was truly magical.
Part of the magic was not having to think about meals. 
Each day our hosts, David and Liz Atkinson of Les Baccacs


and their two assistants, prepared wonderful local cuisine. 
Each day Liz provided three delicious meals created from recipes and ingredients of Provence. We sipped the local wines, devoured the fresh picked cherries and apricots and indulged in salads and entrees flavored with fresh herbs.  With 400+ photos, I am having trouble sorting the meals, so decided to give you my food photos.








 















 


















David drove to a nearby bakery every morning at 7am to pick up fresh, still warm croissants and a variety of breads. Heavenly.




And from the local markets, aged cheeses and more.





And then there were the hand, homemade desserts.



 



Each evening David would introduce the  meal and inform us of our schedule for the following day, providing us with a bit of history and anecdote of the area or village he would transport us to.  There was no need to travel far, the surrounding area is inspiring
A perfect two weeks.

Thursday we woke early, finished packing and checked out of ...





a really charming home away, while we were in Santa Fe.



We left Santa Fe for Albuquerque Airport.
 After returning the rental car, we were ready to wait.
This airport is western themed and has comforting 
beige and rust color scheme.
A contrast from industrial look of LAX.




During our wait to board, we did some people watching.
I thought you might enjoy seeing my brunch?
A $4 coke and banana bread = $8.50.




A full American Eagle flight with 78 passengers 


took off for the 1 hour 35 minute flight to LAX. 
Once at Irene's home, I set off for Tustin at 4:03 pm, 
knowing I would deal with rush hour and freeway traffic.
The 55 miles took two hours. 
Palos Verde Road, Crenshaw Boulevard to 405, to 22 to 55.
Small but welcoming, Home Sweet Home!
Unpack, laundry and repeat packing for tomorrow's
Mother-Daughter weekend trip to Palm Springs.











I have over 100 unused Santa Fe photos yet to share. 
adding just  a few here.


Irene @ Casa Nova






























Thanks for stopping by, I hope you'll join me from Palm Springs?










A smile for Friday ...
