Pont Du Guard




Posted for July 16
I got up at 10:30. I was knocked out and got some really good rest. After getting ready I headed for the train station to head to Pont Du Guard for the Day. It’s a Roman Aqueduct which is the second tallest Roman Structure with the Coliseum in Rome being the tallest. I wadded my feet in the water as I sat in a stony beach area. Next to me was an older topples woman bathing in the sun.

The structural part that amazes me is, the arches were built with out mortar. Just rock carved and fitted perfectly with a key stone on the top. I stood underneath the arch in awe.
