Fontaine de Vaucluse

Still pond that very quickly becomes rushing white water...

The poles in this picture are there for people doing kayak competitions.!!!

Water rushing over the burm.!

"Spill the Wine" Spilt red wine looks like a murder with the right camera angle.

Snuggle picture in the computer lab.! :) Matty and I are having a blast. I wish you all could be here too!

I know that I haven't blogged in a while... two shout outs to start, Happy Mother's Day Mom! and Happy Birthday Dave!! :)

Okay, so a field trip that my Travel Portfolio class took was to the Fontaine de Vaucluse. Some background knowledge. It is the source of a water supply for a very large part of the region that I am staying. And at one point Jacques Cousteau attempted to dive to the bottom and couldn't find it. With modern day technology they have also tried to dive to the bottom but stopped counting after 300 meters and returned to the surface. !!! The "source" of the "source" to this day has still not been discovered. The water was the most incredible blue color that I imagine is the same color as water in the Carribean. And it just gushed at high speeds and strength from a completely still pond. Unbelievable.

A lot has been going on in Lacoste this weekend. And I would post pictures if I had remembered my camera cord BEFORE I hiked up the hill to the PC Lab. Another night. But I promise you'll get to see pictures from our Toga Prom and Second Annual Sidewalk Arts Festival! :)

P.S. Our assignment at Fontaine de Vaucluse was to draw water in some aspect or another. IMPOSSIBLE!
