Sur le Rhone in Vienne

This blogging is technically challenging in a mostly wifi-less environment. So just the highlights. Yesterday we visited the ancient Roman theatre in Orange, the Roman aqueduct bridge Pont du Gard, and the best vineyard on our tour, Chateauneuf du Pape.  All these peaceful burgs and fields drowsing in the sun hide their secret - they've  experienced horrific invasions, disasters, and persecutions for millennia - and the tourists have come anyway. The wine was good, didn't buy any because we can get it at home. Will follow up with some picture posts after dinner.

Peaceful river, Pont du Gard

Pont du Gard moved water 30 miles.  Of course the Chinese wall is 100x longer, but did it look this good and carry water?
