After a week of cooking and cleaning for two different groups, Kristen and I headed out on a road trip to visit Amy, our travel companion. The trip to Le Creusot was about 50km away and took about 1 hour. I drove through about 20 carrefours (or round-a-bouts) and got the car up to 110km/hour (not through the carrefours of course!) without losing any parts.
This morning Amy took us on the tour of Le Creusot that she practiced. I'm glad she practiced... cause I think we'd still be walking if she hadn't. Here are some of the sights from around Le Creusot:
Parc de la Verrerie
These are some of the animals kept in the park.
The Mayor's officeAfter lunch at a Chinese Buffet, we headed to the first century town of Autun about 20 minutes away. Of all the French towns that I have visited so far, Autun is on the top of the list. It has all of the elements of a stereotypical French town. See if you agree.
Cathedral Saint Lazare
Roman Gates dated in the 1st century.
I found this stage in Autun that was begging for a performance.
This was part of the grand finale!
Fans rushed the stage!
Here is a shot, after the crowd dissipated, of the ancient Roman ampitheatre.

Did you see any gladiators? Nice pics.
Speaking of gladiators...this quote would have went well in your surrounding:
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next"
Sweet Pics - Nice Air
Your creative writing and great pictures have been very entertaining for Dad and I’s otherwise mundane evenings. It should be doubly entertaining when Laura and Amy come to visit. I'm anxious to see those Paris pictures. Love and Prayers Mom
