Provence
From there we traveled up the coast to the city of Arles, France and visited the vineyards in Provence. By chance we found a beautiful hotel , Les Florets, where they are well known for their gourmet food. We had an exquisite meal of roast and vegetables and finished with a yummy indulgent dessert. I didn’t take o photo of the main meal but did get one of the squash soup I had earlier in the day along with the dessert from Les Florets.

Cinque Terre, Italy
Our next stop was Cinque Terre, where we stayed in the village of Monterosso. There we found some fresh fruit and vegetable stands and I was amazed by the size of the lemons, for which Cinque Terre is well known.

Habits
If you stepped back and looked at how you spend your day, what would you see? Most of us see a fairly predictable routine, with a few unexpected but manageable events peeking into our routine on most days.
In essence, most of our lives are built around habits. Some are very conscious habits while others may be things we haven’t given much thought to but we do them every day nonetheless.
