Weekend With the Fam

My Parents came to visit and we stayed in a small coastal town called Bormes. These are some shots from that weekend.

We visited an incredible beach that had a rocky path that hugged the coast as it weaved its way around coves and over rocky shelves.

The way the path blends into the rock is vaguely reminiscent of the Forbidden Stair from Lord of the Rings

La Vida, Part III, Cult Site

So while on La Vida, we stumbled on a very strange Tolkienesque/ C.S. Lewisian cult site (Yes - I was trying to make that sound as pretentious as possible).  It even had a sacrifice table and all, but when we went back during that day I wasn't able to get over there to take pictures of it.  But these are the pictures I was able to get.
