So much potential

... bit grotty and run down and a bit poor… that does not normally put us off though so not sure what was wrong. The town was under going a fair bit of renovation and rejuvenation work and has a hell of a lot of potential as great place to visit…so perhaps in 5 years that is exactly what it will be. We went for a wander and found the amphitheatre which was like a mini coliseum in the center of town. It ...

And voila.... a river out of nowhere

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up!

The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

Rome...?

... 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 ...

Starry, Starry Night

... 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 ...

Avignon - city of popes and art

Today we drove to Avignon. Oh my god at first it was so dificult to fibd the way!!! (we don't use any navigator) But then we gor used to it, and finally arrived to Avignon.
We parked our car just in front of the old gates and were actually looking for their famous "palais des papes" - popes' palace when we got into a tiny street with a lot of interesting actors in it (clowns, deadmen, people with puppets, even a man on a ...

Montpellier

... egyedül indultam felfedezőútra. :) Hála Istennek nem tévedtem el! :) Sőt, még egy ,,idegenvezető" is pottyant az égből. :) Ugyanis épp egy botanikus kertben sétáltam, amikor odajött hozzám Jean, akivel elkezdtünk beszélgetni,és megmutatott néhány helyet, így pl. a katedrálist. :) Hát megint sok élménnyel gazdagodtam. Sok puszi! Csillu

Amsterdam to Avignon

... the beautiful mountains in the south. Rained the whole way. Arrived in Avignon about 9 pm and made the short trek to the hotel. We checked in and went out exploring the dark city. Found an "Irish" pub and had a beer, listening to a DJ play some horrible Americana-esque rock and roll and 80's junk. At lest we had the beer. Ree ate a huge hot dog that came with fries ON TOP. Sleep... and don't let the bedbugs bite.

Finally, a day off...kinda...

... her after dinner then she helped me hang my clothes out to dry. It was a little awkward hanging my underwear up in the middle of the courtyard for everyone to see but she said it doesn't bother people here. So as I'm typing, my underwear is hanging off the clothes line waving in the wind. I came in and did a little more homework and packed. Tomorrow is our first free weekend and we are headed to Marseilles.
