The day started with a lecture by Pamela Morton on Vincent van Gogh. The light, country side, city and hospital in Arles played a key role in van Gogh's life. We traveled to Arles, France and had lunch at Les Cigaliere. The festival of the rice was going on along with the running of the bulls. We were even able to see a portion of a bull fight in the Roman Colosseum. Later that day went to Les Baux to see the medieval castle and town. We even were treated with a local wedding while there.
