Up early to make use of free Wifi - that is Kim watched the sunrise while sitting outside a closed café and scabbing their Wifi! We then we hightailed it out of Arles and towards Spain.

Hello, I'm french and I come to Palangkaraya January 25 until February

downtown.

Halo, saya orang prancis dan saya datang ke
Palangkaraya dari 25 Januari sampai Februari 20 dengan seorang teman. Kami

Thank you for your help. Terima kasih.

... the old stone replaced like this. But if it wasn’t done, there would be nothing left to see! Also, who’s to say what is ‘original’ and what is not after so long a time. For a building as old as this, I believe a few renovations have taken place over the years!

Just down the street was the Theater Antique, or Classical Theater. A century ...

... that you’ve met.
The ragged man in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn, the bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

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 ...

... but now they are starting to show off their fall colours. Bright yellow leaves, deep scarlet, burnt auburn and green sometimes all on the same property - with each varietal showing slightly different colours. This was very beautiful as most everything is dead and gone in this desert-like landscape.

Olive trees all of a sudden popped out of nowhere! Rolling along vinyards there was all of a sudden there was a building selling ...

... BUT the info we got for the campsite was wrong and it was closed.. and the one next door too. So a rushed internet trip we found one, way out and got there just in time. France is full of red lights, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings!!!! Im SOOOOO over them all!!!!

Got to the campsite and there were no buses in town,. We were exhausted by then so fell into bed and decided to give up on that part of France and head to Lyon the next day...

... 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.

A longer drive out from Vaison la Romaine down to Les Saintes Maries sur la Mere via Pont du Gard.

Pont du Gard. This Pont is actually an old Roman aquaduct on 3 arched levels across the valley of the river Gard. It is a national monument with world heritage listing, and one can readily see why. The scale of such an engineered structure is breathtaking. It is also ...

... Iar pe stalpii gardului pe langa care trecem la intoarcere sunt mii de melci catarati! Dupa doua ore de calarie ne intoarcem la baza. Ne dam jos de pe cai si, oh! my! god!, ce ma doare intre craci. Si picioarele imi sunt amortite. Mergem cracanati (eu si tat-su, ca fetitz n-are treaba) la masina. Wow ce deconectare! Toata civilizatia a ramas undeva la cativa ani in urma, parca! La fel si tot ce-a fost si ce e planificat. Ne felicitam acum ca nu am gasit 4-wheeler...

... mi fece sentire l'odore della Guinness, il mio caffé fu sorseggiato sulle rive del Liffey, mi presentó amici di tutto il mondo. Dopo mi portó a Montpellier e li é stato bellissimo. Il mare, il caldo, cose bellissime peró poi ho cominciato ad annoiarmi. Si, faccio la caffettiera, é vero, peró commenti come: "Ah che bellu café" non mi bastavano piú. Avevo bisogno di viaggiare. Avevo visto qualcosa del mondo, peró volevo di piú. E sono scappata ...
