Old friends!

Today was dedicated to Old Friends. I'll not post pictures as you have no idea who they are or why they're important. We had lunch in Avignon with one set of friends and met another later in the day for a lovely Pastis. It was great fun! We had not seen each other for about 25 years, so just finding each other was a trick! Note from Duane. . . If you have old friends- - - Hang on to them!
Now on to things you care about. . . . the Pope's House in Avignon! We didn't go inside as we were inside several years ago, but here's what it looks like from the outside:
From the front we waltzed around to the side gardens to get a closer look at a few things. 
Here is the famous Avignon bridge. We can't remember why it is famous, but trust me, it is!
These are the rock steps I climbed to get the very best picture for you. There is nowhere I won't go. Yes, that is Paula at the bottom. 
Whoops! There she is again. Once this trip is over Duane will have a hard time recognizing Paula without a camera in front of her face.
Here's the shot I promised you. And here is what she looks like from the ground.
Now you know just how far Duane climbed to get that previous picture. Duane has calves of steel!
