Nimes Arena. Lots of blood spilled here in the bad old days.

Found a bark scorpion in my shoe on this day. Glad to be in the habit of “clapping” shoes together and checking for critters.
From the old world into the new.
Kinda cool seeing this on the way down to the wharf:

Seriously though, if you have the chance, Nimes was a nice place to visit if you want to see ancient Gaul aka Roman structures and history (while you bum around the South of France). I have a ton of pics of the Arena, the gardens, and something called the Maison Carree (which is a small temple).
Wife took this one of the Arena:

It was a warm August afternoon at LAMBEAU FIELD!
Dry fitting the x brace to the current build while fresh hide glue gets made. Adirondack spruce braces over what *might* also be red spruce- I've been holding onto this top since 2004.
Looks like the cobbler's kids might get some shoes after all.
