Atel Le Magnan Avignon

... 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!

... didn&#8217;t even really resist. They knew the status to being &#8217;Roman&#8217; and that it would bring them instant infrastructure, roads, money, etc. <br><br>But enough of all this Roman talk - we&#8217;re in France after all! Italy will come when we set sail tomorrow night. For now we&#8217;re dining on our last few snipits of cheese, provincial bread and aioli sauce.

... add details, and as Vincent so skillfully did: show movement and texture with brush strokes. As I photographer, I must only capture what is there. Although I can make some minute adjustments, it&#8217;s reality. So many times I wish a tree would just move to the left, the shadow would fall differently, or that a person would get out of the way! In the few ...

On recommendation of a friend, I decided to stop off at Avignon, a small French town famous for its Palais Des Papes and its lavender fields (although I didn´t know about the lavender part). They also have a famous arts festival which I happened to miss by two days (wasn´t too upset as it would all be in French). Oh and there is a famous song which I was also unaware of about dancing on the St Benezet Bridge... yeah I didn´t know about ...

... the sun was out. We left Avignon to see Ezes, a small medieval town that is normally very busy when it has their street market. Unfortunately, we were there on Sunday, so there wasn't much to do other than buy a crepe and relax in the town square. Then we went to the Pont du Gard, which I remember from Evan's pictures when he went to France. This aqueduct brought water 30 miles with only a 40 foot grade difference. Does that make sense? Only this bridge ...

... interesting (having a little taste themselves!) and the lady helping us was really informative about the wines and vines of the area. Kids been in the pool again today a few times although the weather is not that hot...temp probably around 20 degrees today and a bit of rain for a while but nobody out of shorts yet! It is meant to get better as the week progresses. Seeya!

... made dinner while I continued my homework. We had rice and lentils for dinner with a sauce she just made up out of no where which was again, as always, delicious. I had goat cheese for the first time tonight too. It was stronger than some cheeses I am used to but still good. Tonight we ate dessert. She made a chocolate cake with bananas that was like the rest of her cooking, delicious. I did the dishes ...

... have plenty more of these and will add some from time to time. Now it was time to roll on bring on Spain. We are now in Barcelona where we had to meet Adams mate Ali. Bad times ahead. Well good nights bad Days. Since being away we have taken on different roles i handle all the travel, we split the accom booking and Adam feeds and waters me at night. I´ve been fairly hungry lately but drunk a lot so his doing half his job and at least its ...
