We got a relatively early start this morning. David was anxious to get out of the "Miami Beach" atmosphere of Nice and on to the provincial setting of Provence. We picked up a rented car and with David as the navigator and myself as the driver, we went to Aix-en- Provence. I think it took us around two hours. After we checked into the hotel, we went for a brief walking tour. Almost every town in Provence has an office of tourism with maps of the town, things to do, etc. After getting a lot of maps and a pass to all of the museums, went for a walk around the town. Aix has a beautiful old city, so we wandered the medieval streets and went into a few small museums. It is also known as the city of a thousand fountains. We turned out to be rather tired, so after some touring, we went back to the hotel room and took a nap. For dinner, we ate outside in a public square. A lot of the cafes and restaurants are only big enough for the kitchen and the staff and the seating is outside.
