A city of ruins and a city of beginnings...
Recently I spent almost 5 days in the south of France visiting one of my dearest friends. (15 years already!) As little and as infrequent as we get to see one another, we always pick right back up where we left off. Our interests and our experiences, despite the distance, still share a thread of commonality after all these years. It seems the ebb and flow or our separate paths continue to mimic the tides of a single moon.
Before leaving New York I had made up my mind to come to this city, all on my own, to decide if my impression 15 years ago would be the same. Meanwhile I still had no word, no way of contacting Fanny after 5 years. Then, as fate always has it, a few days before departing for Switzerland, she finds me... and what does she say?? She lives in Nimes!!! A happy coincidence? Hmmmm....
Needless to say, it was hard to leave. We had a grand ol' time and we joked often about getting an apartment together right away!!
yes...good times, good times indeed....
... this one would have been perfect-- for a fixer-uper!!
Oh the balconies and a rooftop garden!!
Anyhow, here are a couple more pictures of mine,
and three that aren't...
My sweet sista & her pups:
The iconic Roman ruins:
not bad, eh?
