New Hotel Camargue Arles

... 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!

... didn&#8217;t even really resist. They knew the status to being &#8217;Roman&#8217; and that it would bring them instant infrastructure, roads, money, etc. <br><br>But enough of all this Roman talk - we&#8217;re in France after all! Italy will come when we set sail tomorrow night. For now we&#8217;re dining on our last few snipits of cheese, provincial bread and aioli sauce.

... to wander around this town ad see the exact places that are pictured in famous works. It&#8217;s amazing how much closer you can feel to a person just knowing you&#8217;ve been to the same places. But of course, 120 years later things have changed. Buildings are gone, skylines have changed, and 20th century influence is everywhere! Not quite as romantic ...

Even though I think I have a strong concept of the French language, there are just certain sounds I still have problems with...like that liquidy R in Arles... Arles, the city where Van Gogh was inspired! Because his paintings were unsuccessful at the time, Van Gogh sent the +300 paintings he made from this city to his brother Theo; alas to this day there is not a single Van Gogh painting in the city of Arles. The city has made ...

... construction across the street so nothing was readily evident. I walked and walked. There were giant P's for parking everywhere but no parking lot. (They were just signs for parking on the street.) The further from the office I walked, the less I wanted to walk back for further instructions. OUFFF. After getting on the wrong elevator, entering the wrong building, a businessman finally directed me to the right ...

... back up the other to our hotel. Since it was early, we had a good 4 hours to make it from one end to the other. My father, having never experienced a European market, was in for a real treat. Sampling the cheeses and meats, while I smelled the spices and purchased produce, my father was having a blast. I think he finally realized why I was so persistent on going to the local markets if the chance arose. Its not another shopping excursion, its how you get to ...

... after 1:00pm and grabbed some sandwiches for the beach. A sandwich, coca-cola light, and some sunbathing later, we got into the water. I "swam" in the Mediterranean and it was freezing. At least I made it in though...We packed up early to walk around the town a little bit. I love the symbol of the Camargue and I wanted to get a necklace. I found one that was perfect but the chains were ...

June 21st, 2007 It's official. I dropped the class. I'm in translation and I couldn't be happier. I now have a class right before and right after lunch. I would be in the center after lunch anyways working on my computer so I might as well fill that time with a class. We were given an article about the flamingos in the Camargue to translate and I tried to find so many ways around words, it was unbelievable. My ...
