Arles, etc.
Saturday we went to another fascinating old city called Arles. We saw what remains of a Roman arena and a theater. It’s just amazing that they are still around. We also visited a very small town, Saintes Maries de la mer, that is the site of pilgrimages to honor Marie Salomé and Marie Magdalene, who are thought to have landed there after Christ’s crucifixion. Gypsies also do a yearly pilgrimage there to honor Saint Sarah, their patron.
And then we drank some regional wine (just a taste!).
Sunday we rested.
