On our way to the French Riviera

But first we have to stop at a few new places. First we stopped at a medieval walled-in town with little streets and shops to walk through. G went to the washroom outside of the town while we were waiting to go in and he walked right passed me, assuming that I was looking at him, and then we were separated. How? Don't ask me but I stood outside of the men's washroom waiting for him until I thought he had a problem and walked right into the men's room to find it empty. I found him about 35 minutes later.
We next went to Nimes which is a city with buildings dating back 2000 years. An old bull fighting arena still stands. This is now pretty close to Spain and only in this area is there allowed to be bull fighting in France. By the way, blue jeans originated from Nimes. It is because originally, a french man used to use blue denim to create sails for the ships, you know - denim "de nimes" "from Nimes" Very clever. The blue colour comes from the blue die which is the colour of Genoa which also means jeans. Such a story. G and I lunched on a step in the shade next to a 2000 year-old Roman temple.
Next we stopped for the night in Avignon. You know, Sur la pont, d'Avignon, on l'y danse, on l'y danse, sur la pont, d'Avignon, on l'y danse da da da. We walked around inside that walled city as well. We are heading out for supper in 10 minutes but not before we have a little aperitif of tonic water and cognac.
Tomorrow we head for the French Riviera and the beach. We have supper somewhere on the beach tomorrow and the next day G and I have the whole day to ourselves near the resort. Toodles, and we'll be sure to have some rose, an area speciality, for you all.
