A night out...and a sinus infection

Last night we went out as promised. We went to O'Neilles on the main street, la rue de Republique. It was a lot of fun because most of us were there. Things got a little crazy, but we all managed to make it to the Palais de Papes this morning. Also, I was very excited because Johnathan came with us! He probably thought we were crazy Americans, which we are. Rachel and I are going with him on Saturday to Montpilier (a town) so hopefully that will be fun.

Avignon is known for having been the home to 9 popes when there was a civil war in Rome and also when the anti popes were around. The palace is huge, but it wasn't too exciting because there wasn't much in it. And there were a lot of tourists. I suppose it was necessary for us to see it though because we need to know the history of the town. I did learn that Friday the 13th was created when some king masaccered (spelling?) a bunch of people in temples a long time ago on the Friday the 13th in October. I thought that was interesting.

We also visited the pont d'avignon (a bridge). It only goes half way across the river because it broke. It had nice views though. Hopefully I will post some of those pictures soon on Facebook. 

Afterwards I tried to find a new purse but I didn't want to spend too much so I ended up with a boring one. I headed back because the sinus infection is starting and I need sleep!

And lastly, the weather was great today. It was suppose to rain, but it did that in the morning and then the warm sun came out! It was maybe 65 degrees. Il fait beau!
