Interesting. This must be near the shot where we saw pheasants running free. Maybe they were escapees.

2 years agoFascinating, you learn something new all the time. Never knew about the other Arbutus till niw.
2 years agoThere are strawberry trees, aka European Arbutus, along the seaside walk in West Vancouver. I was looking at them (flowers *and* fruit in November!) when a friendly fellow stopped to tell me what they were. I liked it up when I got home because they don’t look at all like what I think of as “arbutus”. But they are the same botanical family, Arbutus unedo, while our native trees are Arbutus menziesii.
2 years agoWe love Nimes also. Our visit at this time of year was really perfect, although a bit earlier might have more reliably good temperatures.
2 years agoSorry, it really all looked so good.
2 years agoIt's a new favourite with us too.
2 years agoWonder what the occasions are when you can go inside. The outside, in fact all the Roman stuff, is quite mind boggling. 2000 years is really old.
2 years agoActually, the fellow at reception was more than hotel friendly for us too.
2 years agoHi,
As you’ve probably figured out, we love Nîmes. Calm, much to see and do, and great Provençal food. Only problem is the summer temperature which can hit 42! Too hot for northern blood.
Cheers,
Keith
Alright then! It’s nine in the morning, I’ve just finished breakfast, and you’ve left me ravenous!

2 years agoOn certain occasions you can go inside. Always strikes me with awe.

We should have commented on Cavaillon. Probably my least favorite town in Provence.
