Just a quick post because we have very limited wifi access. On Thursday, Tim and Meg and Kate and I explored around the Aix market, and built ourselves a scrumptious picnic lunch.
Then Tim and I picked up our rental car and hit the road. We spent the night in Nimes, where we had an amazing dinner at the Grange aux Canards (loosely translated, "Barn of Ducks"). We intended to have a relatively quick morning in town the next day, but first we overslept, and then we got turned around on our walk. That's okay, because we got a chance to see some interesting parts of the city while we were turned around.
Then we headed off to see the Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct outside Nimes that's astounding to see. We got sucked into the museum exhibits, which were really well done, and by the time we got out to see the aqueduct itself, the light was beginning to fade. Oh well, it was stunning nonetheless.
This morning we're in Toulouse. We'll meet up with Meg and Alex and crew this afternoon for the Airbus tour - should be fun!
As always, you can see some more pictures here. More later!
