The name of this town sounds like the word for "yesterday" in French, which I find romantically appropriate, as this place really does feel like it was forgotten in the past... one of the first seaside resorts in southern France, Hyeres has a sort of faded glory, a quiet sleepy feel that makes it easy to spend the whole day at the beach, napping, reading, and wondering what's for dinner. Yesterday we took a boat out to the island of Pourquerolles, which I am sure I have just spelled incorrectly. It was a very nice island, covered in old vineyards and ringed by sandy beaches and cliffs. We had mussels and white wine from the island for lunch, and then went back to the hotel and slept through dinner. Oh well! In just about half an hour we are going to St. Tropez, one of the more modern and popular places to play, so we will leave yesterday behind and move into tomorrow.
I know, this was cheesy, but the internet is about to run out, and I have no time to edit it to make it more palatable. We are in France, after all, so cheese is everywhere!
