Campanile - Arles

Plan was to stay in Avignon but when we arrived we decided it was too big for us and after driving around the outide of the ramparts of the old city walls - very cool and the main thing we wanted to see - we made our way onwards to Fontaine de Vaucluse which is 20kms past Avignon. We arrived just before dark and found an Aire de Service at the edge of town where settled in for 2 days. The town ...

... 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 ...

Curse the Mistral - it has been blowing for 3 days non stop and it is gale force and freezing cold. It appears to have abated slightly this afternoon and our local guide informed us that it stops after either 3 days, 6 days or 9 days so we are hopeful. Last night it ws like sleeping under a jet ready for take off all night. Poor Big Mama got rocked around and it takes a lot to move her. A big ...

... climbs a large stone outcrop that has a stone chateau on top. It is all the same stone and really a beautiful place. It is a tourist trap, but an excellent one. The thing to do there is the shopping. Ed bought a bottle of absinthe and a special absinthe spoon. You put the spoon across the top of the glas and put a sugar cube in it, then drip water over the sugar to dissolve it. The sweetened water runs into the absinthe and turns it a ...

... to give her. I've been home alone for basically 2 weeks and she couldn't make it back to say goodbye. Funny how her car would be fixed on Friday which was the day the workshop would end...Anyways, I cried on the phone with my parents then cooled down a bit to meet Meredith and Mackenzie at Le Jardin des Artes for dinner. They showed up with bloodshot eyes and red noses. They were crying. I was crying and sure enough, we ...

... in one day, geez. We dodged him by going into a toy store. Haha. Anyways, I wanted to find a Longchamp bag because, apparently, they are the hot item on college campuses and a really reliable bag. Since they are a Parisian made handbag I thought it would be a great souvenir. They didn't have any thrilling colors so I'll just have to wait until I got to Aix or Avignon this weekend. I killed an hour at Meredith and Mackenzie's because they have ...

... is French and it may or may not be her husband but Issiakah's father is from Cameroon and currently lives there. I haven't asked about that yet because I don't know if it is a touchy subject or not. He brought along his friend. Apparently they are like brothers because his dad lives here but his mom is in Africa too so they spend all day together. We ate some at the brunch they had then I grabbed my ...
