We are in Arles! And it is beautiful...we came in on the train at sunset--a bridge and Rhone river greeted us. What I love about traveling is that it works better the less you try. So Winnie and I meandered through town and stumbled upon the fireworks here. We found a little italian cafe and watched the firework show from our table. I had at first felt bad to be in a way *missing* the fireworks--but then Winnie pointed out that a man sitting at a table nearby was writing a poem perhaps on very little pad of paper. Then his wife/girlfriend read it over. It seemed like it was worth more than fireworks.
After dinner, we found our hostel and met a German girl in our room. She spoke perfect English of course, so we wandered around Arles at night. Stumbled onto the "Van Gogh cafe" without trying...Then we ran into our assisstant friend, Amy, randomly as well.
We ended the night, of course, at McDonalds. :-)
For ice cream--"the best McFlurry I've ever had," says Winnie. And it was pretty good--very crowded though too! I loved the Van Gogh paintings on tiles that were decorating the walls.
Tomorrow morning we're getting up early for the market! I'm so excited--it's a beautiful town!
Oh and I got my work schedule finally--I'm hping no work on Thurs afternoon or Friday. My teachers are hilarious.
