Arles - The Roman Town

 


We had a museum pass while in Arles and were able to tour some of the Roman sites.  Of note is the museum from the late-nineteenth century which used wax figures to portray everyday scenes of Arlean life.  It was a pioneering thought to think that future generations might be interested in the current day.

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.
