Marsielles, Avignon, Port Du Gard and Danny and Kat's visit!

Danny and Kat came to visit me for four days and we had a blast. It's the first time that i have actually ate amazing, expensive cheese. I mean the kind that just melts in your mouth. All weekend we ate cheese, bread and wine. Yes i know so cliche!!! I really wish that i had words to explain it, but i don't. It was just that good! The first day we took them to Marseilles and walked around. That night we went to this wine bar that was fantastic. I had the best wine i have ever had with cheese and this absolutely terrific salmon dish.





The next day we went to Avignon and the Port du Gard bridge. Avignon is one of the most visited areas in France. It is where the Pope lived after he was kicked out of Italy. The first picture below is the palace that he and 5 popes proceeding him lived. It was so cold that day because the winds were really harsh, but the town was very hip and it was a lot of fun. After we went to the Port du Gard bridge which was built by the Romans. It was kind of creepy because we sat on the very edge and ate granola. It was such a surreal feeling standing on something so old.













The last day they were here we went hiking on Mount Saint Victoire. It was a 30 minute bus ride though the countryside and it was gorgeous, but freezing! We hiked up and ate some bread and cheese at the top. We actually were going to drink wine too, but we forgott a bottle oppener. So anyways here are some fun pictures from their visit. hope you enjoy.
