Back from France



Now commences many pictures of France. We just returned from 11 days there - 4 in Paris and a week in Provence. It was all great. One of the highlights was this "bull fight" in Arles. More of a bull competition. Taking place in the 2000 year old Roman arena - there are about 15-18 men pitted against the bull. Their goal is to grab two ribbons that are tied to the base of each of the bull's horns. Some people are cheering for the bull and some are cheering for the guys. I have not seen anything more athletic and exhilirating. If Hemingway had watched this I think he would have a whole new book to write.
