On Saturday(yesterday) we went to Orange, the Pont du Gard and Nime, because everyone else thought that homework was more of a priority than adventuring around Europe to see the important stuff it was only Brittany and I. We hopped in our rental car and took off with road directions, but we quickly found that our big problem wouldn't be getting into the cities, but finding the monuments after we got to the cities. I spoke more french yesterday out of necessity than any other time, and because I was the only one of the two of us that could it made me extremely nervous, but was also very eye opening. In orange we found the best preserved example of a Roman theater,and a great ruins from the forum there. The Pont du Gard was amazing, and in Nime we found the best preserved amphitheater and the Maison Carree covered in scaffolding. The Pictures really have to tell it all.This may also have to be in 2 parts-My camera finally just died. Enjoy.
