And the beat goes on

So, where'd I leave off - a yeah, 5:30 in the a.m. So I waited around for sunrise and fell asleep and slept till 10. Ain't that grand.. I violated my primary rule... sleep in the states... get up and explore Europe. Oh well. Off to Arles we went. There was a huge festival going on there, complete with bull fights. Weather was mid 80's with a nice breeze keeping it oh so comfortable. The town was nice... had an Italian feel. A little dirty, a little funky, but the booze was flowing and there was lots of people. We drove back that night and cooked at home and devoured our purchased wine. The Chateauneuf du Pape was delicious. Went to bed, took an Ambien and slept to 9:45... Oh well, I'm on vacation right? This morning we left around 11 for Pont du Gard...This is a Roman aqueduct that transported water from Uzes to Nimes. The bridge that we are standing on was build by the French in 1848. It's a very awe inspiring sight and was the one sight I really wanted to see. Again, beautiful weather with a nice breeze blowing. It the sun it would seem to be hot, but with the wind, its very enjoyable. Just standing next to this 2000 year old structure takes your breath away. A day well spent.

From there, we drove to Uzes, a small town which was actually the source of the water for the aqueduct. There was a flower market open in the town square so we decided upon lunch. Here are a few pics from Uzes... so tomorrow we're off to Gourdes.

Gotta go sample some Deutz Champagne!
