Walking around Arles

We are still headquartered in Nimes, but we drove today to the town of Arles (video to follow soon). Fortunately, the rain has considerably cleared up.....still cloudy, and we even had a few sprinkles, but nothing like it has been for the past few days. Arles is a beautiful, ancient city which features a Roman theater as well as a stadium. As in most of these French cities from the middle ages, there are the charming narrow streets and the feeling of antiquity. Having spent most of the morning in Arles, we decided to head to the town of Aigues Mortes which lies about 35km south of Arles among the "swamp land" of France known as Les Camargues area. The area is known for their "cowboys" and the town itself is surrounded by an old stone wall where one enters the town through giant ports in the wall. The town is nice, but doesn't have the charm of Arles. This is our last night in Nimes, and tomorrow we head to Aix en Provence.
