La Gorge du Verdon


Saturday! Mike off work, and all of France to explore!
We decided over breakfast to go hiking around the Gorge du Verdon, which is like the French Grand Canyon. We packed a picnic,put on shorts, because we are apparently not that smart, and set off for the gorge.
We arrived at the Lac de Ste Croix, to find the weather a tiny bit cold... and since we were going up... it was only going to get colder.
Upon arriving, we proceeded to freeze our asses off. It was cold. Very cold... but at least it was windy. We did manage lots of exploring. We found a crazy tunnel in the side of a cliff, a very cool bridge that we suspect people may B.A.S.E. from.

We drove through Trigance and had a beer just outside of there at a fantastic little italian restaurant.
We found 2 beautiful waterfalls & parked the car in a tunnel we discovered in the side of the mountain... which is good, because it was starting to rain. We had a picnic of sandwiches, cheese, apples, and cornichon, which are my favorite, and Mike has also come to enjoy. They were always expensive in CA, but here they are uber cheap. YAY!
Not much hiking today, but it sure was perdy.
