Arles (cont.)

I'm not sure when we will get on the internet again, so I will update our stay in Arles. It rained during the night and after we had supper tonight. It was nice for our walking tour around town this morning. A local lady led us. Afterwards we all got museum passes to use on our own. We went to an interesting archeological museum with lots of Roman artifacts (statues, mosaic floors, scale models of the old Roman structures, etc.) found in Arles (just recently they found an old head of Julius Caeser from a statue in the Rhone River here), an old Roman ampitheater, and a coliseum that they are restoring. In fact our hotel is right between these Roman structures. We had to park our bus and wheel our suitcases for about 5 minutes to our hotel last night. Curt helped some of the women (including me) carry there suitcases up some stairs. On our walking tour we saw some of the places that Van Gogh painted here. This is the city where he cut off part of his ear. We also did a little shopping. Tomorrow we will stop at another Provence town (Les Baux) on our way to Roussillon for one night. After that we end our tour in Nice for 2 nights.
