Papie visite avec nous

My dad came to visit us this past week! It was so good to see him. It had been about four months since we'd seen each other.

My dad flew into Nice and then headed to Le Lavandou where my grandmother lives. So, Seneca and I met him in Le Lavandou. We spent the night and then returned to Manosque the next day. On our way to Manosque we made a few stops. The first was St. Tropez.

Our next stop was Brignoles. This is where my dad was born and raised until he moved to Utah at the age of 16.

This is the house he lived in.

This is the room my dad, JJ and mamie slept.

I think aunt danielle slept in this room.

This was the landing between the two rooms (they didn't have in-door restrooms at the time) so they would have their port-au-potty here.

The elder lady in the background is the current owner. It was her parents who rented the place to my grandma.

The yard is very large. They have olive trees....

This is the school my dad went to.

This church on the top of the hill is right next door to where he used to live.

Matt, Seneca and I went to Rian. They have a beautiful cathedral here.
