Mt. St. Victoire 1998

This hike was while I was a missionary for my church in France.  On a day off a group of us drove to this mountain and hiked it.  It wasn't the highest peak I've done but it was probably my first hike in a non pine tree forested area.  The day was beautiful and the view was nice from the top even though it was a little hazy in the distance.  This mountain is featured in paintings by Paul Cezanne.  The one thing I found great about this hike was seeing the nuclear reactors in the distance.  Reminded me of the Simpson!

Church near the summit of the mountain...don't get that in Waterton!
