I've hit the wall...
Okay, I've hit the wall..my stomach cannot take any more cream or butter or heavy food. Last night we ate at Les Deux Garcons in Aix-en-Provence, and the dessert sent me over the edge. Think of sex on a plate in chocolate and cream.
Tonight we went to a hip place called the Rotunde (smirk), I felt at home immediately when I noticed the DJ playing some stuff. I had a light meal, some provencal stuffed veggies, then cockles and linguine with zucchini, then for dessert a very light yogurt-like cream thing with fresh berries. My stomach thanks me.
I don't know what I'm going to do in the Land of Big Greasy Sausages. Muesli and sauerkraut will be my new friends, and bread.
Today we visited Baux de Provence, and then Arles. In Arles I saw the cafe that Van Gogh painted in his famous Cafe Terrace at Night painting (I have it in my house, behind the front door). It was really funny, a bunch of us thought it was this other cafe because a tourist tram had stopped in front of it. We didn't notice that it looked nothing like the painting. The Tourist tram was there for the amphitheater we were seeing, apparently there are a bunch of sites in the area that VG painted.
Today is Thursday, the tour ends Sunday. I wasn't originally going to go to Monte Carlo, it's an optional excursion on the tour, but I changed my mind. I probably won't have the opportunity to go again anytime soon.
My stomach still hurts. The town here is gorgeous, as are the people. Even the garbage men are gorgeous, young and tan. They must hide the ugly people away or something.
Tomorrow we're off to Nice.
I mailed home some souvenirs today, a whopping 70+ Euros. Next time, I won't come by myself or I'll just come to provence, so I don't have to worry about schlepping another suitcase by myself. This way I have room for steins.
I had beer tonight with dinner, much better. I'm looking forward to Germany.
