Next day we met Beck and Rich at the train station in Avignon to pick up our car, and they dropped us off at our hotel in Vaison-la-Romaine, with a stop along the way to visit the vineyards at Chateauneuf-du-Pape (above). We all ate a wonderful meal at a recommended restaurant, which included many courses and much chocolate. Wide awake at 2:00 AM, thanks to jet lag and the chocolate, I got up to adjust the window. Patti woke up to a dark figure who seemed to be coming in the window, let out a blood-curdling shriek, and tried to push him out. Luckily I managed to fend her off. We lay there in silence, watching lights come on throughout the hotel.
