It was outstanding. Paul won a free ticket to a contemporary film (they tend to show art-house-type movies) for knowing what Peter Seller's last movie was (The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu in 1980).<br><br>We then went across the street to the Melting Pot restaurant ...

... in the town! From avignon across to Nice the sceenery was very spectatular- the train track follows the coast most of the way and a lovely old gentleman sitting behind me would warn me when the good bits of sceenery were coming up. Southern France is quite different to the Paris area, the houses have more of a Spanish influence with Terracotta tiled roofs, painted shutters and painted walls.

Nuvi did a good job and I arrived just after 8 &#8211;they were getting worried- I didn&#8217;t want to take the time to stop and fire up the computer for her phone number&#8212;but only an hour over due from what I had emailed her.

So we managed to find our way home after an incredible summer. In just over 5 weeks we were in 29 States, drove 12,700 miles, visited 5 World Heritage Sites, many wonderful state and national parks, saw great cities, awesome beaches and fantastic friends and family.

A Monaco c'est pire, à l'arrêt de Fontvieille, environ 20 personnes de plus s'ajoutent au total, et on doit être au moins 80 dans le car, au point où le chauffeur décide de ne plus prendre personne pour au moins les dix arrêts suivants. On arrive à Menton vers les 18 heures 10, et je vais à la petite épicerie tout près pour me prendre à soûper : je monte ensuite ...

... all the boys that were with us. Luckily we got our money back!! We had a bite along the warf an drank cheap cocktails, it was a great afternoon.
