Nimes is well worth a visit Rachael. If you do get here our hotel location is perfect across street from the Remès de Nimes. No problem with bikes in room. Kitchette with microwave, small fridge etc. Beatiful city for walking and exploring in the old town.

This tunnel shot is better ( so to speak) because the light is apparent 🤩

Thanks, Bill! Now I am officially bugged out 😬

Ha!
No. Compared to katydids and other types of grasshoppers its antennae are shorter.

Could you email me? For some reason I can't pull your email up. Ugh. It's a good thing I wasn't the one on with tech support for two hours, I'd be melted into a little puddle of frustration! My sympathies.

We were initially going to give Nimes a pass but sure glad to have spent a day here. Fabulous! A very full day taking as much as we could in.

I sure wish we would have been able to see Nîmes in before it was dark!

What a great tunnel photo!

Huh! Nimes looks very nice. We probably should have just stayed there instead of taking the train to Marseilles and back. It wasn’t really worth the detour.

They’re not uncommon, but you’ll have to be lucky and don’t expect a good look because they’re elusive. Typically I’ll see them flying across the road, a flash of blue on a bird about the size of a crow, and then disappear into the canopy.

Thanks Scott. Now to try and spot a real one!!!!

Thanks Suzanne. It was an awesome evening.

It was an equally wonderful evening for us. We are looking forward to next time.

It was a terrific spot.
