I’ll keep this short as I’m feeling sleepy and will let the photos do most of the talking. We spent a lovely day in and around Nimes today visiting a Roman arena, a Roman temple and a Roman aquaduct. All three of these structures date back to the 1st century AD so all are close to 2000 years old. All incredibly impressive. Visiting these monumental structures has just ignited in me an interest to learn more about the Roman empire and so I will have to acquire some books on the subject.
Good night from France.
Let me add that the public washrooms at the Arena and the bridge were outstanding (in comparison to some others). They were clean, fully stocked and had proper toilet seats. Hooray for the that!

Thanks for the comment Marissa, since I wanted to ask “How were the washrooms today?”. Glad they are “upgraded” in Nimes.
I love the picture of the four of you on the top of the Arena as well as Francois’s lunch (yummy) and the balcony with flowers. Great pictures!!!
