Got up early and got picked up by our tour guide Jacque:
There was only one other person on the van with us so it was almost a private tour
First stop Pont du Gqurd:::::::::::::: the Roman aquqduct thqt looks like q beautiful bridge; it was built to bring water to Nimes:
Man, those romans know their architecture
Second stop was the town of Orange zhere there was an outdoor market going on
We toured the Theqtre Antique dOrange: An impressive theatre of the roman empire where they still perfor, opera:
Kinda weird touring all this roman stuff in france
Next was something mark will be jealous of:
After getting a kitchen demontration of a chocolatier making chocolate; we got to do a "workshop" of winetasting and chocolate tasting:::::::::::::it was fun:
Since we were in the Chateauneuf du Pape region we had some of that wine with several pieces of dark chocolate, on having ginger in it::::::::::::hated that, wanted to spit it out
We kept snitching the choco almond samples
Our last stop was the Popes summer home which was the actual remains of the "Chateauneuf du Pape"
Back to our apt for a quick lunch and off to explore more of Avignon
We walked through the grounds of the Popes Palace and then took a water taxi across th Rhone to check out the menu of a place that was recommended::::::too expensive so back on the boat and her we are in the internet cafe
tommorrow we are taking a 7am train to Nice where we will stay for the night
We plane to do our own extensive walking tour since we will just be there overnight
We have been doing our share of laughing
Sheila, not all toilets have seats and some are seriously just drains in the floor
Maureen actually used one
Created to keep in touch with family and friends.
