Thursday, May 19

 We toured Nimes today.   Our choices were Nimes and Avignion and Nimes had more triangles🔺 in the guide book. The coliseum was our first stop which was lame with a audio that had to be shared and was hard to hear. It also took a lot of climbing to see the same thing—an empty coliseum. Our next stop was lunch where R got kangaroo. We agreed it wasn’t going to replace beef for us. Then we went to the Jardin de la Fontaine (Fountain Garden) where men were playing Boules, a Bocce Ball like game. W also met a plein air artist paining in watercolor.
