Avignon

This past weekend we drove to Cannes to meet Alan and Deb who flew in from Idaho. On the way we stopped in the city of Avignon to spend the night.
Daniel found a hotel that had been converted from an old monastery and still had the original stone walls. It had a lot of character.
This is the courtyard of the hotel.



This is dining room where we enjoy dinner together.































Breakfast was out on the sidewalk - croissants and cafe creme - Beth and Alan we were thinking of you!!!




























The old city had plenty of original stone walls and architecture. It was the seat of the pope for a number of years so much of the building is a result of the pope's influence and power.




































Friends???










Washing up at the hotel . . .
This is the city center in front of the pope's castle.

thanks for thinking of us! I can't believe that we're not going to have our one last fling in Paris together. It's so sad.

You're kids are really cute though.
