... well deserved wash. It took some scrubbing to get 5 weeks worth of dirt off him but he sparkled once we were done :)
Another longish drive got us to Arles where the plan was to stay for 2 nights as it was home to van Gogh and lots of Roman ruins. We got a good park on the Rhone River just outside the city walls but the city itself made us feel a little uneasy and something was not quite right. The place was ...

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!

Saturday 7 Nov
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!

... than the amphitheater, it was a semi-circular shape and only seated 10 000. Not much remains but 2 columns, 6 bits of columns, and piles and piles of rubble with fantastic carvings on them. It’s amazing to think of a nation who worked so ***********quer other lands. And not just conquer, but build amazing structures, theaters, coliseums, walls, and aqua-ducts. And other ...

... the Rhone. Narrow streets hung with lamps and strung with ivy still hold the same charm. All homes decorated with ancient shutters and worn doorways. How could one not want to paint?

Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity

Avignon is extremely beautiful and we have a lovely view at night of all the castle etc all lit up as we are camped on a sort of island in the Rhone. We arrived yesterday and explored the town and went to the Popes palace which is the best preserved castle of its age in France. We then ...

... mine a variety of glaces including licorice, topped with finely shaved licorice. The waiter explained when we were ordering that the chef considered cooking to be an art, and in the manner of a painter, he arranged the food as though it was on a palette. Hence the name of the restaurant.

Narbonne
Our friend Susan Flintoff had recommended a restaurant in Narbonne, called Le Petit Comptoir that she and Brett had enjoyed last year ...

Today was Roman ruins day. First, we went to the Roman ruins at Glanum. Lots of interesting stuff, only briefly summarized here. There was a residential area, a monument area, and a sacramental area. I have a few pictures here, which clearly don't do it justice.

We then went on to Pont Du Gard, an ancient aquaduct. This was well-preserved and gave us the ability to walk out onto the main ...

... her closing remarks and put an end to the awkward silence that always comes after spending two intimate hours talking with someone you'll never talk to again by walking under the arcade of Espace Van Gogh, which was once the hospital he lived in, and she was gone. We also took a day to fully explore the Roman ruins of Arles. They were all built around 2000 years ago and include a theater, arena, and ancient circus where they held chariot races, commonly refered to as the ...
