This morning I hopped on the TGV and went from Paris to Avignon. All I can say is that the south of France is a trillion times more beautiful than what they say; and this is just a small city! But I love it. I'm only here for 24 hours so I packed in a whole bunch of touristy things including Le Pont d'Avignon (on which the french song is based) and the Palais des Papes which was really really neat. Apparently, a long long time ago, Avignon was the center of religion and this is where the first 9 popes (if I'm not mistaken) ruled.
Other than that, well, as soon as I got off the train, I got hit with warm wind and a very comforting slightly lavender-ish smell. I'll be touring the south for the rest of the week and maybe a bit more next week so I'll keep youz guys posted on stuff.
Oh the first part of my pics (mainly family pics and kittehs)are on flickr, the direct link to my album is now in the sidebar.
More to come soon!!!!
Toodles!

Blog some scenery shots!
The Flickr link does not work...
But I want to know...Did you "danser sur le pont d'Avignon?"
Seriously, how could you NOT? that would be like coming upon a bear and NOT poking it with a stick or coming upon a skunk and NOT getting in a piss war. It simply MUST be done...LOL
