Following our overnight in Mougins, we set
out for the
village of Gras, in the heart of Provence. Tracy's sister, Laura,
rented a villa near Gras, where she and her husband Ward and children
Edie and
Alex were vacationing. The family generously offered us the guest house
for a week. What a change from the hectic pace of Beirut! We dined on
sumptuous Provencal dishes prepared by the cook, lounged around the
pool, and drank in the scenery. In addition to lounging and dining, we
took several day trips to surrounding places. But mostly we simply
enjoyed the pleasure of good company in beautiful surroundings. The
panorama above shows the villa and its impressive vantage point on
southern France. Below is a tour of the individual rooms. (This tour
was originally
included in the panorama, but the javascript used to make it is now
obsolete. We hope the photos below will suffice).
