Appreciate It

Beaucaire has by far been my highlight of the trip. It was much more than I saw it to be. On the first night we saw the running of the bulls through the streets of Beaucaire, and then ate Bull for dinner.

The second day of Beaucaire bought the elaborate Pont du Gard to our attention where we went swimming in the river and jumped off rock faces before the Police told us very kindly to get down. 

Dinners each night have been an excitement. We have had snails twice now, one being garlicky the other being tomatoey, and an assortment of of meats, fish and poultry. Including quail, 2 year old bull and squid. 

I have used the pool at every opportunity given and worked up a nice tan, apart from the large areas of my body which is burnt. Some of my fellow tourers have got a nice burn, including Hamish, who's whole body seems burnt, however burn and tan are the same thing.
