Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, “the fine art of doing nothing” in Italian. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Are two Popes better than one?
Spent most of the day in Avignon. First on the agenda was a self-guided (with the world’s most annoying electronic iPad-like device) tour of the Palace of the Popes. Its massive rooms were built to house a second papacy during a schism in the Catholic Church back in the 1400s. Good lunch outside at the Place l’Horloge then took the little tourist train that take you to pars of town you probably wouldn’t discover otherwise. Drove to Lourmarin (yet another Plus Beaux Village) for drinks then dinner at a favorite restaurant from a previous trip.
