Finally in Provence to end the year! I'll be here for the last two months of my Watson studying
Frédéric Mistral,
René Char, and other Provencal poets. I completely lucked out and found an amazing flat to sublet via Craigslist. I was nervous about subletting through Craigslist at first, but the owner of the apartment ended up being a well-known poet! It fits my project perfectly: studying sense of place and living in a poet's abode for my last few months. I believe in serendipity, especially after this past year.
Mount Ventoux in the distance still has some snow lingering on the top!
My own writing studio! Finally! My first real desk of the year.
France=amazing pastries. The first of (what are sure to be) many, many more.
Tomorrow is the famous Carpentras Friday market, so while I'm looking forward to taking pictures and buying fresh fruit and veggies I need to head to sleep since the stalls open at the crack of dawn. à bientôt!

ReplyDeletewow the flat looks beautiful! i wish i could have joined you :( buying fresh veggies and fruits? sounds like farmers market, but infinitely cooler and more chic because it's FRENCH!:) love you <3 keep uploading pictures.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that this year has just flown by!! Your flat looks gorgeous! I still miss you very much and look forward to your return. I can't wait to hear all about your adventures in person! I hope that you have a wonderful last couple of months traveling. It will be such a relief coming home and being on flat ground for a little bit, but at the same time, I know that you'll miss your travels a lot (I did!). Enjoy it!!
