... 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 ...

... not know how. <br> Perhaps they&#8217;ll listen now. <br><br>But what a sad story of a man impassioned by his art, yet rejected by all around him. To the point where only his brother befriended and supported him. Only selling 2 paintings during a lifetime, and even those that are given away ended up on hen-house doors and shot up by young passersby ...

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 ...

... and the people of Arles still use it today, mainly for non-lethal and Spanish bullfights. Unfortunately, no events took place while we were in town. We also visited an outdoor theater, baths, and a cemetery (all Roman ruins, except they still use the theater for concerts). Aaron had met a researcher that worked in Arles at a scientific conference a few years ago. We decided to look him up in ...

In the middle ages 212 houses and 2 churches were built inside before a massive restoration project in the 19th century. It now is open for tours and is home to weekly bullfighting events (they serve bull at every restaurant in town incidently). The Antique Theatre is still being used for entertainment events like plays and concerts. Those are only ...

... IES center for translation. We got our Devoirs Sur Tables (quizzes) back today. I got 9 out of 20 and I was of course a little angry about that. The translation from French to English was horrible for me. The second paragraph had two words in it that I didn't know and well, I messed up that paragraph really bad. From day one, I thought we should have the option to use dictionaries but ...

... region around Arles), tuna, carrots, tomatoes and a little vinegar. She also made slices of bread with pâté and olive spread. It was delicious. She is cook so she works when people need her. I definitely can't wait to taste the rest of what she has to cook. The sun sets really late here so I wasn't all that tired but I fell asleep anyways. I would say it was a good day considering I moved in with a stranger.
