We said goodbye to our hostess, Jane, and traveled to Ales in Provence. We are staying in an Ibis, a sort of chain hotel. It is comfortable and has a bathtub (not just a shower) and is smack dab in the middle of town. There is a cyber cafe here where I am caught up on my emails. It is a struggle using a foreign keyboard. For those of you who touch type it is back to the hunt and peck days. The letters a, z, q, w, m are all in different spots so it can be slow going.
Ales is a busy town and very easy to get around on foot. Today we found a market in a square and went to the tourist info office.
