Sunday Drive?

It's a sunny Sunday, so we decided to drive to St. Guilhem le Désert, a village that is one of the designated "prettiest villages in France." It's been on our list for quite a while!

Well...

About half way there, I noticed a warning light on the dashboard! We pulled over to a wide spot, hazard lights on, and dug around for the owner's manual (no, the image is not obvious...) We finally determined that it was saying we had low tire pressure - Rick walked around to check it out; nothing obvious, but we didn't want to take a chance. He looked up a nearby service station on the GPS, and we took off for it. Have I mentioned before that the GPS would be right at home in the garage can?

We finally found a place (not on the list), and took care of the tires. By then, we're both more stressed than a relaxing drive in the country could account for, so we head for the forest park near home. No more problems... Except of course, it's a sunny Sunday. The parking lot is jammed! We hung out in the car for a bit, then took a newly vacated spot 🙂 Life is good again! 

We strolled around through the woods, found a shady bench, and had our (fairly late) lunch. Some more strolling, then back home to relax!

Pierres Blanches, not St. Guilhem
