Another day trip...this time to the Pont du Gard outside Nimes. An unbelievable Roman aqueduct with a river suitable for swimming underneath. It was 95 degrees and the river turned out to be crystal clear and cool. Meg and the kids took the opportunity to take a dip.

The aqueduct was an absolute marvel and the museum was super high tech and really did a great job explaining the role of water in Roman cities and also clearly explained how the aqueduct system worked and the pitfalls of water corruption in Roma societies.
