This sign was at the edge of the river that passes under the Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard. So what or who is the help?
Last night we were still trying to get used to the time change. By night fall we were exhausted. We had our dinner in the French Laundry. It was a quick and easy dinner. Below is a photo of the place.
Yea you guessed it, we ate in our room after we did some laundry. The price was right. We had some leftover snacks that we brought with us.
Today we took the local bus to Pont du Gard. As I said earlier it is a Roman aqueduct built in 19BC. The canal is over 30 miles long and brought water to the city of Nimes. This aqueduct was the largest one ever built by the Romans --- it is 160 feet high and is only 6 feet lower than the Colosseum in Rome!

The price of gasoline is about $8.40 a gallon! Tomorrow we board our ship and head down the river to Arles.
