France Travel Journal. Day 4 (Fri., June 3) - Arles

The day started out clear, but turned rainy.  It was heavy at times, and we ended up wetter than yesterday.

Primary events today (not in order of occurrence):

1/ Kate got a haircut, which included boldly walking into the shop and making an appointment.

2/ We visited a necropolis called the Alyscamp.  Most of the best sarcophagi had been removed, but it was still an impressive 300 meter lane lined with them.  At the end of the lane was an abandoned chapel, which had been taken over by the pigeons.  The wall hummed incessantly with their cooing.

3/ The Alres achaeology museum,where many of the best pieces from the various Roman sites had been moved and restored.  Of particularly interest was a model of a seven stage water powered mill.  In one day, it could mill emough wheat to feed 12,000 people.

I suppose a survey of French singers needs to include Johnny Hallyday.

I promise some balance tomorrow.
