This weekend we celebrated Joel's birthday with a camping trip in the Beaujolais Wine Country. We set up our tent in the tiny domain of Fleurie (where you could sleep in a giant wine barrel if you wanted!) and hiked the vine-covered hills to discover vineyard after vineyard and of course..tasting after tasting. The Beaujolais Region begins just a few minutes North of Lyon and AGAIN...it has become one of our favourite stops, a highly recommended asset to anyone's Tour de France.

| We took the scenic route home to stop in the village of Oignt, voted one of the top 5 most beautiful places in France.
Perfect weather and lots of wine...sounds like a great birthday to me!
Joel & Amy
