Day 8 (Avignon)
Today we took the train out to Avignon. In the morning we had a meeting with some people from the University of Avignon. Their campus was really pretty and their cafeteria food was really good. It was a shame that we didn't get to see much because there are no classes due it being the summer. In the afternoon we went to see the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) which was really neat. It was an amazing structure, some of the rooms/halls were absolutely huge. The only unfortunate thing was that there wasn't really that much to see inside the castle, it was pretty bare, but none the less it was pretty impressive. Afterwards Lauren went with me on the Pont de St Benezet (which we all know from that song: "Sur le pont d'Avignon, on y danse, on y danse...). Lauren got to make fun of me for my fear of heights because I would only walk in the middle of the bridge. Also I'm pretty sure I managed to flash quite a few people, I was wearing one of my flowy skirts and the wind keep blowing it up. It was quite an effort to manage.
