Life in Provence

Another hot, dry day. We won't have to worry about rain for the VBS. Here is a typical house in the city. Made of stucco, it can remain cool in 100* heat if you keep the doors and windows closed. It's dark and cool inside. Meanwhile, much of the family activity happens outside on the patio. The hot, dry wind dries the laundry which gets hung outside. People sit in the shade and talk, nap, read or talk. Life wakes up again after 8 pm dinner.
