The Race, Aix-en-Provence, and Au Revoir

It is the next day, the wind has died to a desirable breeze for sailing, and everyone very enthusiastic for the race.
All the sailors are preparing their boats for the race.

The Race


Here are a few pictures from the race, these were taken from the last start to the end of the race. As the guys were racing, us ladies, Audrey and her girls and Sisi and I, decided to head over to Aix-en-Provence for lunch and to tour around.











Aix-en-Provence



There was a market going on on the popular street Cours Mirabeau.

We had lunch at the well known Les Duex Garcons, where we had a very rude garcon as our waiter. He really filled up the french stereotype experience.


We found a great place to buy some sweets, I bought their famous nougat and orangettes.










Au Revoir!

And we return to watch the guys bring the boat out of the water and on the trailer.
