To the hundreds of readers who wrote to say how sorry they were that the Saint-Honorat series had come to an end so soon (alright, so “hundreds” is a slight exaggeration; the truth is that one person -- myself -- expressed this regret) I’m delighted to announce that there are 34 Saint-Honorat pictures published on my web site. But on to today. We spent the day in the old papal city of Avignon where we not only saw an old friend from Long Island and his lovely daughter, but also the famous Pont d’Avignon. It was built from 1171 through 1185; through the years, the bridge had to be partially rebuilt so many times that it was permanently put out of service in 1668. Only 4 of the original 22 arches remain; so much for craftsmanship.
