The Tower

Aix en Provence Rocks

Aix (X) is a College town . . . walking around we thought we were back in Iowa City. There are College students everywhere. What a great place to go to college! There are no stories tonight, but you do get photos. We look for stories all day. Some days we have stories, other days not so much. 
This is one of the stalls in the market. . . Linens Galore!
This is the kind of display that will put a smile on your face!
Nice building on Cours Maribou . . . . 
And another . . . . 
One more look at this magnificent fountain! This thing is huge!
This is one of the church steeples at sunset. They build them this way (Wrought Iron) (Flow through) so the winds can pass right through them. When they built regular solid steeples (Like churches in most places) the Mistral Winds would blow the whole tower over. The Mistrals are powerful winds that last for weeks and weeks in the Spring. They blow things around! Study up, there will be a test when this is over. Paula and Duane have always skipped the Mistrals and for good reason. They ruin everything!
