South France

France:
beaches, busy
towns, bustling,
traffic, beeping,
castles, sweating,
streets, stinking...

Places visited:
Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez,
Aix-en-Provence, Chateauneuf-du-Pape,
Avignon, Collioure, Port-Vendres,
Montpellier, Carcassonne

Impressions gleaned:
wealthy foreigners (and the less so) will all flock here
in their super-cars
and French, German, Italian, English
lie shoulder to shoulder
sweating for their colour in the hot Mediterranean sun.
Life is casual; nakedness
rules, weeing is encouraged
and drinking is normal.
