Arles. A gorgeous mix of ancient and modern. We walked in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh, seeing the sights that inspired him when he was here. Wednesday was the perfect day to be here--market day (beaucoup de tresors) AND the start of a music festival, with venues all around the city to stop in and listen to. The ancient arena still holds (more humane) bullfights, and the theater has lighting for recent shows. Side note-things are really starting to heat up. We've been riding a heat wave since we arrived in Scotland, where it was unseasonably warm, and now as we enjoy the Mediterranean climate, it's necessary for more ice cream (and soon, Gelato) to stay comfortable!
