Roman Ruins in the Rain




That was the plan. The weather was so horrid here Sunday morning that we set off for Arles. Alas, my short cut was innudee (underwater) so we ended up taking a longer route through the Camargue where they grow grain and not grapes. The weather in Arles was fine. The ruins were not. The colliseum was filled with metal bleachers so we didn't choose to pay to enter. When we got to the Roman baths it was 12:05 and everything in France seems to close between noon and 2pm--so we peeked through the gate. French lesson 21: Avoid eating at outdoor restaurants in the square of any tourist city. Lunch was mediocre at best. We have not had good luck with eating out in this part of France.
