Commissioned vs Street Art
Look! Proof that we were not in a ghost town! See that guy in the left corner? Sadly the lighting doesn't show off his orange army pants.
This is the street art around the city.
The ones on the right are the "non-commissioned" pieces.

The Pope's Place
Monday, March 4, 2013
Fast train, cold evening. Avignon
As you may have noticed from the last photo I posted, B hurt his leg. To be more precise, he completely tore is Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
So while he stayed home in bed in his compression tights waiting for the daily visit from the nurse and eating 3 meals a day prepared by his crème of a mother, I happily took our train tickets and a friend to Avignon. (Aveen-ñon)
I thought it would be warm,
but no,
the constant blow of the mistral ("fresh" would be a generous term) meant we were shivering while checking out the city walls and the pope's digs. But it also meant that we had nearly the whole city to ourselves.
especially the first night
