We rented a car for a day and drove to the mountains behind San Rafael. We visited Callian, a village on a hill, one that the tourist information guy said was “quite typical” (he meant unique), and Grasse – the home of perfume making. Grasse wasn’t that pretty, though the perfume factory was pretty interesting, and everyone bought themselves a treat, including Arlo, who got a fish-shaped soap!

I love the photos with Arlo (and you and Geoff of course) but my favourite in this batch is definitely the door with the pot plants either side. I love that one.
