Fortunately, I was able to go to Provence. I enjoyed the sea (again) and was able to see the lavender fields in bloom. It was magical.

Thank you. I'm glad I was able to travel these last two months. If everything goes ok, I will be spending a week in a beautiful countryside house (with a pool!) mid July. Keeping my fingers crossed.
