Citotel Vendome Salon-de-Provence

... 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!

... and instead went out to a great classic Provencal dinner, and got some good wine. But then, we started to see a couple kids in costumes, or rather just kids in sheets. I think one of them had a mask. But on our way back from dinner, we found the bar scene. Mostly it was just people out on a normal Saturday night, but we had to at least go check it out. We were somewhat impressed with the Halloween scene, and probably could ...

... figured this out and got on the right boat - well, a different boat anyhow. <br><br>Driving onto the boat we followed the sign that said &#8216;Embarkments&#8217;. I love how so many words in French are similar to what we use in English, but with slightly different meaning. I certainly feel as though I am embarking on something this evening. Something completely new and unplanned - even to us who hardly do ...

Wait a minute, we&#8217;re not traveling to Italy until tomorrow&#8230;but we spent the day in Arles exploring Roman architecture. <br><br>The biggest site in town is the amphitheatre, or coliseum. Glimpses through different side streets pull you even closer like the hub it has always been. Huge in scale, some seating is till original and large towers give sweeping views of the ...

... 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 ...

... was treated to a surprise tea party chez moi (complete with Disney napkins and cups...and wine) and I bought her a kettle, tea, and biscuits, what every British girl on her year abroad needs (well, apart from myself, being a strange and rare non-tea-drinking creature)! She had a fantastic time and all were home by 10:30 (the buses don't run late here), but then again we had started relatively early! For Louise we had a film night and then a night out. I think her ...

... probably take longer than I had planned. He made an exceptional Rissotto and tomato and lettuce salad which he picked from the garden. After eating and coffee of course he dropped me back in the main street, I was now 2 hours behind schedule. It was then I realised I had left an item of my luggage at the house, I returned to find nobody was home so I resolved to wait out the front until he returned. I drank probably the best water I ...

... that a lady kindly stopped and indicated how much space I had before I would scrape the side of the car. Finally, I ended up on the banks of the Rhone, and could go back to where I wanted to park. The second time around, I found a parking place and had a pleasant lunch in the shadow of the amphitheater. I drove on to Salon-de-Provence, another Gallo-roman city. In the late 1980s my wife and lived just a few miles down the road from here so this area used to be ...
