Pont du Gard Museum

We actually began our visit to the Pont du Gard at their new museum.  I don't know when it was built, but it is shiny and state of the art.  We went directly to the kids area.
We learned all about the wildlife that lives in the area.
You could lift up the red dams and reroute the water.
Archimedes' screw used to move water uphill.
 This is a Roman market.
 Roman baths sounded like fabulous community centers.  Many included libraries and places to hang out.  I think the Lindenlea Community Centre should put a Roman bath in on the second floor (that needs to be built).
 Too busy to look at her mother
The main museum told the history of the area and the aqueduct.  It was great, but we did not have too much patience for it because we were hungry and needed to head back to the hotel.  After lunch, we went to Baux de Provence. Things are a little out of order on this blog.
