Walls, Isle sur la Sorgue
We chose a different way to walk in to Isle sur la Sorgue and I found these walls, artfully decaying.
This more properly belongs with the post below, but I liked the colors better to match the ones here.

Ford Ranger for the rest of the world, Apt
This makes me wonder. Ford stopped making the Ranger here a couple of years ago. It had gone unchanged for a long time and Ford decided not to have a smaller pickup in their lineup. At the same time, their "regular" sized pickup, the F-150 has gotten bigger and heavier every year. I owned two Rangers and they were perfect trucks for the person who didn't run a business out of them. Then I find out that Ford completely redid and modernized the Ranger and sells it to the rest of the world. This was a neat rig, about the size of the previous Ranger but with all the modern electronics etc. It is big enough for what 75% of people need a truck for. Apparently Ford thinks it would steal sales from the F-150 which is a huge profit maker for them. Too bad.
Gary's Aygo, Saignon
This little Toyota Aygo belongs to our friend, Gary Brown. It is tiny. Last year, when I put gasoline into our diesel car and had to have it towed, he gave us a ride to the garage. Half the back seat was full so I had to sit behind Gary, a tall man. There was plenty of leg room. These little cars in France are amazing for their interior room. It would be a neat little city car here in the U.S.
Cutting stone, Menerbes
This was making such a high-pitched wail that Janie had to run past, holding her ears. I looked, and he had no ear protection, sad.

Couple, Apt bike path, east
We watched this couple come out together to toss out the garbage. They supported each other like I hope we do when we're that age.
