Alyscamps is a Roman burial ground filled with ancient tombs just outside Arles. Turns out that having fancy graves and monuments on the outskirts of town was a sign of prosperity. We thought it was beautiful and creepy.
Our resident docent, Mary Ellen, schooled us in archeology and art history. Van Gogh lived in Arles for 15 months, although they weren't quite so welcoming back then.
The amphitheatre in Arles was a favorite with the guys and there was lots to explore. Ethan found his way onto the roof.
We were there just as the gladiators changed shifts. "Goodnight, Sam." "Night, Fred."
Mindy looked gorgeous by the fountain, and she took so many amazing shots like this "keyhole" scene.
We tried to steer her away from depictions of Christians getting eaten by lions, and ancient football games, but she claimed she'd seen worse.
