We apologize for the lack of blog yesterday but we ended up falling asleep with our clothes on; we were so tired. Yesterday, we went to the Alyscamps and visited the site where not only Van Gogh painted but Paul Gaugin also painted the same painting. This allowed us to compare the techniques, perspective, and emotion that each artist put into the painting since we were able to see the exact site. Being able to compare and contrast the style of one of the artists that influenced Van Gogh gave great insight into his mind and his own personal style.
One difference in this small city of southern France, is dinner time. Restaurants do not even open until 7 to 730 at night. And, people do not start coming in until 8 to 830. Therefore, our schedule is a little off from our Burwell dinner time at Wofford. Also, dinners are slow paced and a more relaxing time and therefore, you will be at dinner for over an hour. It is an experience but the food is well worth it.
