Afternoon in Arles...small city where Vincent Van Gogh painted over 150 canvases...Roman ruins...and some great cafe's...
I am getting my veggies in....
Salads are incredible....not sure why...maybe its because we are setting next to a 2500 year old Roman Coliseum...
The gardens inside the sanatorium where Van Gogh was committed after lopping off his ear lobe...
The city of Arles had numerous Roman ruins and influences...
The coliseum was hosting a bull fight later in the week...
A Roman amphitheater still be used for concerts, etc.
After sightseeing....on to the country house of Christian and Francoise's for dinner...
Outdoor dining...lasted easily 2-3 hours....definitely an event!
This is the real stuff....un-pasteurized, fresh,....full of cholesterol!
Pork Tenderloin fillets marinated in olive oil and a cajun seasoning...probably their version of Tony Cachere's!
Never saw a woman get so excited about cheese or as the French would call it "fromage"...
And last but not least....cake from the local chocolatier!!!
The Lady is in Heaven....Family and good food!
2nd Cousin --Tomas...now 6 years old!
1st Cousins Odeil and Karin
Aunts Francois and Ella
Uncles's Gerald and Christian
Not complete, but most of the South of France relatives all in one place....a Great Evening!
