... 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 ...

... that you&#8217;ve met. <br> The ragged man in ragged clothes.<br> The silver thorn, the bloody rose<br> Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.<br><br>But instead of letting me get down, I will seek out more ancient places and dine in a tucked away jardin savoring the unique tastes of the area, and enjoy the skillful provencal cuisine as I gaze upon the ...

... came down near us but we were lucky and just got debris on us. But enough whining about the weather.<br>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 ...

... there. For those old enough it also inspired Don McClean (American Pie) to write "Vincent" (Starry, starry night). Wondered around, had dinner on a neat terrace. Provence cooking is quite interesting. No english menu but I figured I knew veal so I ordered. When she asked if I wanted "blood, medium or black" I figured I was OK. As it turned out, I think I had calves kidneys and some nice veggies. I figured it ...

... Cheval Blanc and realized I didn't have my suit or towel. Great. I had to go back to the apartment to get them and encounter the strange man. I got back to the apartment and he was in the shower. Perfect. I wouldn't have to talk to him or anything. Not so much. The bathroom door was open a little and he was whistling and I had to scoot past the bathroom door to get to my room. Awkward again. I ...

... went in. It was pretty cold but it felt really refreshing. The guys went to play some football (soccer) and then dessert was served. They were little strawberry cakes and a flakey pastry. They were just as good as the rest of the food. We played some games in French and then left for home. It was the perfect afternoon. Relaxing and tons of fun. We had an individual dinner that night. Sheila and I went to Le Tambourin in the Place du ...

... wine. Had 2 bottles of Crozes Hermatage that were nice. The cheese was local, but forgot to write down the names. Local cheese is always a must when in France - each area takes great pride in their cheeses. During dinner, we watch memorial films of the 911 attack of a year ago. Still incredible, although watching them in Europe as opposed to in USA gives a slightly different feeling since 'terrorist attacks' are a ...
