Les Baux

When we got to Les Baux, it was pouring and we sat in the bus while Patrick figured out what we should do. While waiting there we were serenaded by a song Ludo played-"It's Great To Be A Belgian." If you really want the lyrics, they are at this site. From there you can also download an mp3 file to hear it.

While waiting, we also had a toast for Jack and Rose who were celebrating a wedding anniversary that day.

Patrick was able to make arrangements to have our dinner at the restaurant a bit earlier than orinally scheduled and we were told we could wait in a covered terrace until they were ready to serve the meal. Patrick bought a round of drinks and we had a good time.

Patrick even taught us eight or more verses of "Alouette, gentille Alouette" .

While we were waiting in the terrace, it continued to pour and formed a waterfall on the steps just outside the terrace.

When the dinner was served, it was in a large room with one long table for our group.

The main course was either duck or salmon and both were very good.

After dinner we had a quiet ride back to Arles.
