We decided to visit Arles today because it is close to Les Baux and it has Roman ruins and an archeology museum. We went to the museum first because it would give us a good overview of the sites in Arles we saw later. The museum turned out to be the highlight of the day. The stadium and the amphitheater were both relatively unimpressive compared to the aqueduct we saw yesterday and the Roman ruins we have seen before. It was still enjoyable but not worth writing about, frankly.
The Ampitheater
The Coliseum
Streets of Arles.... yawn.
Before heading back to Les Baux we stumbled upon Paddy Mullins Irish pub and had our first European Guinness. Our hope was that the beer would taste much better (as we have heard) since it may not have the formaldehyde preservative in the beer since it was not being imported to the United States. Alas, the Guinness tasted exactly like we both remember, but it was still a Guinness.
