Todd and Gina's Excellent Adventure: #3

Canadians Todd and Gina Babiak are spending a year in Provence with their young daughters Avia and Esme. Todd is writing about it for the Edmonton Journal and other papers. He's a terrific writer and we're following the family's adventures on Provence Post. In this weeks column, Avia (yes, she's named for a French gas station, sort of), starts school at age 3. Click here to read it. But watch out--you might cry a little...

    Oh, this is really wonderful. What a story! And, Vaison-la-Romaine is probably our VERY favorite town in all of Provence. I know exactly where the school is, which makes this story that much more interesting. Can't wait for all the installments..
