What's more beautiful? Avignon or my new iPod Touch?

We've returned to a more normal travel schedule here in the South of France. A few days ago the weather warmed up slightly and we spent a couple hours sitting in the grass by the Rhone river. The scene was a relaxing one: some locals laid out in the sun, families walked along the path by the river, couples of all ages sat on benches and strolled, and teams of rowers made small wakes as they sliced through the serene Rhone river. I listened to Carla Bruni's soft melodies and smooth French syllables on my new iPod Touch. I plan to post the video I took there. I will try to add the Carla Bruni music too so you can get the full effect of what it's like to lounge on the banks of the Rhone in the South of France.

I know I've said it before...but going to this blog is like reading a novel!! I forget that I'm at work...that students are about to come through the doors...that I'm in fact sitting on a plastic chair just a bit too small for me. But, at least, for a moment, I'm there with you! It's so magical. The way you write and describe these fascinating cities is awesome.
By the way, has the blogging simmered down, or is it just me? I think you need to run sweeps or something...like the networks do to 'captivate' viewers. Just a thought.
Io amo mia amica Valentina!!
