40 Dollars Later

Well, here we are in Cavaillon, France and I have my computer back with a normal keyboard. I still will probably make typos--just the nature of the beast. We took the computer to an expert this morning and found out that the IP address had been changed by the people in Spain at the monastery. They were trying to be helpful, but really weren't!! I felt lost without the connection to family and friends. So, now, feel free to email and comment on the blog.

After the monastery on Montserrat (which means serrated mountain), we traveled to Narbonne and throughly enjoyed our stay. On two different days we drove to the Mediterranian. The first one we walked the beach for awhile and did some shelling--I have some awesome shells for my collection. We then went to Grussan and had our lunch at the marina--kind of reminds us of the marina at Marigot on St. Maarten. Yesterday, Sunday, we drove to Carcassone to see the walled Medieval city. It was interesting, but definitely a tourist trap. All we paid was 5 Euros for parking--didn't look at anything else. We drove back to Narbonne and had our lunch in the park in the center of town. We also walked the canal where many boats are moored. Last night we drove back to Grussan beach and had dinner on the marina. All in all, a great day.

We were going to drive to Arles, France, today. But, we arrived there and Fifi just could not get us where we needed to go. She had us on on narrow streets with dead ends. We just decided to get out of town and head East. More tomorrow.
