Aix and Arles

A mini taste of Provence. Doodling in my room at 5am. I can't believe how much like Tuscany Provence is!
Arriving Friday in Aix. Blue skies for a change.
Water at Cote Sude Vivre event...the big pool in the evening.
One of my fav purveyors at Cote Sud - Les Toiles du Soleil. They have a shop on west 17th street in new york. Go visit for a taste of Provence.
Yesterday I took the bus to Arles (22€ RT an hour and half trip with AC). At fondation Vincent van Gogh, a special exhibit of 31(!) paintings mostly from Netherlands. Fabulous. 
There was a sign:PLEASE TAKE PICTURES AND SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
The Saturday Arles marché is supposed to be the best in Europe. It is. More to come.
A wall in Aix. Apricot, apricot, apricot!
Last nite in Aix just wandering.
Santon figurines in Arles. Adorable.
