Avignon, France

View from our balcony on the ship...you can see the storms that eventually caught up to us
Poppy's along the highway
The old bridge...I swear every bridge was called Old Bridge
Building in Avignon...the middle flag is the flag of France and the one on the right is the Flag of Avignon
Palace of the Popes...this is where Pope Benedict the 12th and Pope Clement the 6th...we barely made it inside before it starting pouring!!
This is where the Pope would sit to make sure he was higher than everyone else. Also the window in the picture would project the morning light on the Pope.
The dining hall...on the other side was the fire place

Entrance into the chapel part of the palace. If you look above the doors you'll notice that all the carvings have been be-headed by the French military
