Comfort Hotel Acacias Arles

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!<br> <br>Saturday 7 Nov<br>Forecasted for rain today but it held off until late afternoon which gave me time to replace the washer in the gear box and for Kim to go for a run, which she was hankering for as she had been getting a little cabin fever of late due to the rain and lack of exercise/time outside!

... the security of this fortress. Brian scoped out several indents where floor beams had been inserted, and hinges for doors had been drilled, as well as a fireplace opening. After the 1830&#8217;s it&#8217;s been used for local bull-fights and has been undergoing extensive renovations. Sandblasters pierced our ears and evidence of new stone was everywhere. Part of me was sad to ...

... not know how. <br> Perhaps they&#8217;ll listen now. <br><br>But what a sad story of a man impassioned by his art, yet rejected by all around him. To the point where only his brother befriended and supported him. Only selling 2 paintings during a lifetime, and even those that are given away ended up on hen-house doors and shot up by young passersby ...

... the church (St Trophene) which was very beautiful and gothic looking. I love the way the old churches smell like. Very musty and full of incense. Arles used to be colonized by the Romans before the turn of the century. In the middle of the old town is the Roman Arena which looks like a smaller scale Roman Coliseum. It is still used to this day for bull fights. We toured around it, but it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be inside. I would have ...

... just happen in winter!! Arles was spectacular. Luckily for us we hit town before the tourist bureau closed and with the help of Rick Steeves we located a hidden gem just steps from a roman ruin and ancient coliseum. Susan and Margaret got a little treat as their room was somewhat compact!! Let's just say that for evening's entertainment, Margaret could watch Susan take a bath or brush her teeth to pass the time.

... rooms and said "Translation Students: Take one and Complete for Monday." A bunch of us went over the exhibit and completed the worksheet then went home. Tonight, Elise and I would finally eat together. She wanted to go out for sushi so we found a great place next to the Place du Forum. I offered to pay because I told her I would take her out one of these days as a thank you and considering I don't know when we will eat together ...

... to lighten up a little more but the class is still so boring. We translated an article from French to English for the first time today. It was about the Pont-du-Gard which was great because we are going to see it tomorrow. I had the word "crues sauvages" which I thought was "those who were believed to be savages living in the area" and was I wrong. We all had the same idea of the word and it became the ogres or trolls of the area. It ...

... so much fun. Too bad French men don't dance as well as the latin men. Haha. Of course, after we were done sweating for the night, we went over to the Pub. Raiza and I walked home together because it turns out, she is just kiddy corner from me in our apartment complex, just across the courtyard. I had her walk up to my little entrance to make sure the cat wouldn't make my heart skip a beat. I made it inside in one piece and got ready for bed.
