We left Avignon about 8:15 Sunday and crossed the Rhone River with a great view of the Avignon Bridge. We were doing well until Greg got a flat tire in the rear wheel (by far the harder one to fix). After that repair we took a nice path to Orange where we saw the 2,000 year old Arc de Triumph
Total of 51 miles
Were afraid we would not find a hotel and we were beat. Found beautiful hotel but it did not serve dinner on Sunday usually. The owner said she would make us a light meal. He husband is a big time chef. She gave us tapinade, home made pate with home made bread, eight or ten cheeses from local farms, salad, omelet, fresh strawberries with ice cream and baked merangue. Great end to a long day

Today, Monday -- rain and strong wind in our face. It is noon and we have gone 15 very hard miles.
