Krista's parents visit: Provence, France

My parents came to see us in the middle of May, our third visitors in just about a month. We had planned the visit for a while and both Brian and I were really excited about it. When they first came, they stayed at our place for one night and then the four of us took off on a little adventure around Europe.

Our first stopover was Provence, France. We stayed in a small town called Arles and used our rental car to explore the other small towns in the area. We got a little lost
(note for next time: splurge and get the GPS!) but were able to see many cute little towns and a couple of interesting historical sites.

The area was really pretty and had a lot of great food, olive oil and wine. But I am pretty sure Brian and I were some of the youngest people there - we tried to stay out semi-late on a Saturday night in Arles and were kicked out of a sports bar by 11:00!

Below are a few pictures from Provence - check out the entire Picassa album of our trip here.

This is not just a cheesy tourist picture - these are the real things!
