We woke up, showered, ate some breakfast (baguette and peaches) and headed to the Gare de Lyon (which contrary to its name is in Paris, not Lyon). We were running a little late which caused us (sara more so than me) some stress. Then on top of it all, we found out the train we had said we'd take was full for rail pass customers. We had to sweet talk the conductor, but he agreed to let us on for the booking fee of 20 euros. We waited for him to come collect it but he never did: turns out there was a stow -away on the train which he had to arrest. We pull into Avignon, meet Lawrence, and a 40 minute car ride later we are at Gressac.
We then met the family (names to come once I learn them). First the two kids: a 4 year old boy and a 1,5 year old girl, and their French au pair. Then we drove over to the cellar to meet the husband, viniculter and their two adorable year-old golden retriever puppies. There we had some wine from the vineyard and joked around for a half hour.
Sara and I found our room, unpacked, and went over for dinner.
