on the road


After a slow morning, packing, a little cleaning, we finally started on our way to Bilbao, Spain. Driving through the French countryside is beautiful, vast fields, orchards, and tiny towns scattered on the hillsides. We arrived in Nimes in the late afternoon to walk around the city and spend the night to get an early start on the main leg of the journey tomorrow morning.

Nimes, Roman amphitheatre, the best preserved Roman arena in France:

We walked through the Jardins de la Fontaine and up la Tour Macne just before sun set.
