Did I mention that one of the people in the group is an aerobics instructor? Oiy. Started the day with a walk though the Roman ruins at Glanum right near St. Remy. Then looked at some sites nearby that were painted by Van Gogh. Each of the sites is marked with a reproduction of the painting posted in front of the scene. One of them seems to be wrong - it looks like the picture got flipped in the printing process. You can get away with something like that in a book (who would know?) but it's pretty weird when you're looking right at the scene. Lovely ride to Eygalieres (lovely=flat) over backroads, through orchards and vineyards. Past some bulls. These are the bulls that will run in the Bastille day celebration this evening. This running of the bulls thing holds no appeal for me. We picnicked on the side of a hill in a small town. More hills. Wandered around St. Remy, totally exhausted but when I finally gave into a nap I was afraid to let myself sleep because I didn't want to miss dinner. Dinner was a vegetarian thing with the group. ...... Copyright © 1996 by Lisa H. Weinberg |
