South of France July 2012 *Dial up Warning*

[Dwinal87]

Ok, I think my last post here at DU was like 2 years ago. How time flies! We just returned from a fabulous trip to the south of France and a couple of days in Barcelona and thought I would share some of the digital memories I made.

I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I enjoy looking at all of your submissions! The bar is set so incredibly high here with all the great photos.

1. Beautiful! Looks like a good time was had.

Thanks for sharing these. What temple is that at the top?

And welcome back to DU!

2. The white temple

at the top of the photos is the Maison Carree located in Nimes, along with the pictures of the Coliseum.

Thanks for the welcome back! I'm here pretty much every day I just don't get the time to post as often as I would like.

6. The rows of violet plantlife.

What kind of plantlife is that please? Very gorgeous pictures.

7. They are lavender

and there were fields of them all over. I am presuming most are for use in perfumes but that's just a guess.

And thanks so much for the complement!

9. Fantastique! Merci!

Great pics and they triggered great memories in my mind. I love France and have many friends there. I could almost smell the lavender as I looked at the photos.

12. Je peux entendre les cloches de l'église.

Je rêve de voir ces choses quand je prendrai ma retraite. C'est une dizaine d'années de suite, si je suis chanceux. Merci de poster ces belles images.

14. I hope you get

the chance to see this when you retire as well!

And if that's not what you said, then I blame Babylon. I know so little French it's not even funny.

My Grand-Mere Roy (French Canadian) attempted to teach me French when I was 5 or 6. Apparently, I do not remember this myself, after a few lessons I looked up at her and said "Grand-Mere, I don't want to learn Spanish anymore."

Lessons over.

She never tried again. My loss.

Cheers!

France, and all of Europe for that matter, is so beautiful.
