We arrived in Arles a day early, by accident.  The hotel staff found a room for us and we got to spent two nights instead of one.  Sometimes it is a good idea to look at the calendar again, and again.

The sun was setting when we made our way toward the arena in Arles.  These were a couple of the buildings across the street from the arena.

More of the arena.

Food and more food.  There is nothing like the food in southern France.

I was eating breakfast in the hotel when the television switched to a weather forecast.  I couldn’t believe what I saw and took out my camera to share the image.  Looks like someone in the graphics department got a bit carried away.

Weather in France.

Close up shows something large and scary.
