St Remy de Provence

Well we decided to stay a week in St Remy - just south of Avignon, and bse here. It's a gorgeous little town where Van Gogh wet into a sanitorium... not sure but he could have cut his ear off here! Also ruins of a Roman town (Glanum). We have ventured to hilltop towns with rivers runnigh through/ rose red because of the red ochre used to build them, & one tumbling down a hillside. We've gone to the best preserved Roman amphitheatre with the stage wall almost complete, the Pont du Gard (an amazing roman aqueduct). We've seen the ruins of a chateau complex on top of a hill & also gone to Arles, also roman ruins & Van Gogh stuff! Seems to be a theme...

The cottage we rented is in a great spot - near a supermarket & the tourist bureau. Was quite near this internet cafe but it took Jen & I quite a circuit to find it. Well; it's actually a computer hidden behind a screen at the bqck of a cafe!

Anyway, we are off south-west for our last 2 nights on Monday. Came to the internet to see if we could find accom but no luck.

Weather has turned cooler & thermals are out & on. Has mostly been fine but rained a little today. New coats work well!

Thanks for everyone's comments - it's good to hear news from home!

We just don't seem to get out at night much, so internet cafes are rarely on our list!

Luv all of us
