avignon france



first, a response to matt. yes, blogger does have spell checker. unfort. it is french spell checker. thanks, wiseguy

back to regular programming:

so we rode from narbonne to beziers (20 mi) and started to get rained on...a lot. thats when we decided to alter course and head for avignon in provance. by train. since it was 2 hrs by train, we never would have gotten up here. train ride was challenging to fit all the bikes in the little area they give you, but probably the toughest part was watching the guy next to G pick his nose for 25 min straght. i am dead serious, he was knuckle deep in that thing. i threw up a little in my mouth.

avignon is amazing. the whole city is fortified from back in the roman days and supposedly it is the oldest city in france dating back before jesus. the pope even lived here for a while. since it poured last night, we are taking another train to aix en provence tonight. tomorrow, we will ride thru the french countryside to marseille to meet ben.
