Matt E's Food & Travel Blog: April 2006

So I finally have some pictures to update the blog. For 10 days during April,I was able to stay at this breathtaking mansion in the south of France with Fafa, Pierre and like 10 other people. We visited Montpellier, Arles, Nimes, La Camargue, Avignon and a few small villages nearby. Basically we drank plenty of wine, ate a lot of great food and slept in this old 18th century mansion which felt as warm as a meat locker. I was able to squeeze in a few hours of poker with Eric while down there. I can't say no to a good game.

The trip went pretty well and I managed to hold true to my maxim 'Thou who doesnt injure himself often will forget what pain is like.' LOL. Just kidding. I managed to sprain an ankle on a run near the maison, then followed it up the next day slipping on the stone stairs and landing on my tailbone and twisting my other ankle. So that day, everyone got a laugh seeing me walk like a penguin. NO worries, I'm feeling better now. Good times

Here are some pics from the trip taken with the new Canon 20D camera. Hope you enjoy!
