Pont du Gard

Over 2000 years ago the Romans decided an aqueduct was required to transport water to the growing city of Nimes and Pont du Gard is the imposing remnant of this project.  We wandered across the river and back taking in the site and then had a picnic lunch by the river where we swam later to cool off a bit.  In the evening we had a short stroll in to Avignon to have a quick look around and a snack of pizza, then back to the Blouquet home later for coffee and cake and a tremendous amount of hilarity over my stories to them of the U-Vic rabbit problem and the efforts to humanely move them up island and to Texas....  they though I was joking at first when I explained about driving them up island and then everyone dissolved during part two imagining pampered rabbits in first-class enjoying a glass of carrot juice.....  we must remember rabbit is commonly on the menu here.
